The law, which provided for appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate top level members of the administration, expired on December 15, 1992.

Get it while you can, Compay Raoulito. I've noticed a lot of this history is disappearing from the DU servers and the rest of the Web, likely the result of how everything like the Bill of Rights changed after September 11.

They'll just live it, without knowing what hell they're in.
