Which, I suppose, goes without saying at this point. If John Edwards had a shred of decency in him we wouldn’t even need to have this discussion.

Holding on to a copy of the tape is like an insurance policy against a potentially costly and time consuming legal action. If Edwards and Hunter both agree to dismiss further suits and sign a confidential disclosure of the contents of the tape then Mr. Young will have no further justification for keeping a copy of the tape. (btw I am not defending Andrew Young. He comes across as someone almost as self-absorbed as Edwards) Personally, I'd like the whole story to just go away. If John Edwards had a shred of decency in him he would never make another public appearance much less run for public office. Mr Young doesn’t have to believe he would lose a lawsuit to fear one.

Of course he may have made a copy of the tape. As you suggested the gentlemenly thing to do would be to destroy any copies he has control of. But; considering who he is dealing with (Edwards specifically), it is somewhat justifiable to maintain evidence of the claims in his book until all parties agree to settle the matter. Dan,
