Well, investigating was exactly what was written. There was nothing else implied in this other than that, nor was there anything implied in the NY Times, or ABC ciations that were used for verifiability. As far as investigating a famous person goes, all I can say is that Al Gore isn't just some random famous person. He is a former Vice President of the United States of America, and if we remember correctly, he came within a few hundred Dade County votes of becoming the President of the United States of America. Then let us remember that this isn't a normal Beverly Hills investigation into drunk driving or spousal abuse. This is an investigation of a felony, that carries with it lots and lots of jail time. No probation for this offense. You just can't compare it to what goes on in Hollywood.
