According to the President's special review board, which was led by former Sen. John Tower, a foreign official (allgedly Saudi King Fahd) donated between $1 million to $2 million monthly from July 1984 to April 1985 to support covert financing for the Contras. Saudi Arabia denied any aid to the Nicaraguan rebels, but the New York Times reported the contribution may have been part of a 1981 secret agreement between Riyadh and Washington "to aid anti communist resistance groups around the sophisticated American AWACS radar planes, according to United States officials and others familiar with the deal." 216.239.53.104 ================================= By: OBSERVER22 12 Mar 2003, 06:35 PM EST Msg. 4354 of 4559 (This msg. is a reply to 4335 by technopulp.) Jump to msg. # TECHNO....... For your reference, Perle filed a lawsuit today against Seynour Hersh. You see, it is unlawful to say things about people that are not true. Further, if you are informed publicly that something is not true, and you continue to post information that is not true, you yourself may have some liability. I don't doubt that certain persons are aware of your posting activities and have wondered what your motives are. Your Iran/Contra postings are all BS, and I can tell you, as a fact, that Khashoggi was not part of Iran/Contra. Anyway yellow journalism will now be exposed for what it is, and your hero Seymour will have to pay the piper.
