In response to "Ultimately, my thinking is that this isn't much different from what a legal investigator would do when, say, verifiying an insurance claim." by Roger More

yeah, I could agree with that in this case. Less so in the case of Primary Colors.

Because in that case someone's painting a thinly veiled picture of another person, who certainly is in the public interest, and the public should be interested in determining whether the claims were true or not.

There's no need to dissect the novels in this case. And I would say even in the case of James Frey, he wasn't creating an expose of anything, he got unfairly raked over the coals by Oprah for labeling his work something other than fiction.
