The truth was bad enough -- travel office employees fired and prosecuted on trumped-up charges, as just one example -- that it didn't need to be overstated the way it was. But it was, and now what everyone remembers about that time is a DNA sample taken off a blue dress. In one way, I hope this "hunting accident in the living room" talk is just hype. Then again, if it is just hype, it needs to be dialed back severely or the truth about the Chretien years will get buried in tinfoil.
