we report, you decide

From a syndicated New York Times article on the 9/11 commission report:

"In an attack on the Clinton administration, the commission suggested that Washington's obsession with the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998 might have distracted senior government officials from the terrorism threat at a time when al-Qaida was becoming a gathering force."

Right...because it was the Clinton administration that was "obsessed" with the "Lewinsky scandal." Those Republicans in Congress, and Kenneth Starr, had nothing to do with it - or are they somehow part of the "the Clinton administration"?
