RE: "You been reading TP's nonsense? That stuff will rot your brain... Bush was cleared of Harken allegations. There is absolutely no evidence of any illegality with respect to the Carlyle Group activities nor the other allegations you seem to regard as convictions. In seven years we will indeed be able to see a very great difference between the Bush Administration and the criminal enterprise formerly known as the Clinton Administration...."

>>> Bush was not 'cleared' in the Harken investigation. The SEC chairman (appointed by his dad:) declined to prosecute him, but there was no dispute that he violated filing requirements. Nice to have friends.

>>> Re: Caryle and Bin Laden histories. There are a world of connections there, not all savory. Caryle seems to be the designated defense 'profit center' when foreign governments want to repay the Bush/Cheney crowd for favorable policies or military action... or when the Washington 'revolving door' periodically swings between 'in government' and 'lobbyist'.

>>> I certainly don't regard the allegations as 'convictions'... but I do think to compare the scandals in one (two-term) administration, you'll need the hindsight afforded by another two term administration... so see you in seven more years.
