Zoltan!, You said : Consider this chain of events in light of the Clinton Standard. It is a fact that Bernard Schwartz and Johnny Chung gave Bill Clinton's reelection operation a lot of money. It is a fact that Schwartz, and also Chung's masters, got the presidential decisions they wanted. It is a fact that, in these decisions, the president overruled his State and Defense departments on a matter of national security and his Justice Department on a matter of law enforcement. 1) It is the fact that you rely on the media reporters to tell you "the facts". However, It is also the fact you ignored the fact that both LORAL and Hughes issued statements to rebut the media's leads. You are a highly intelligent person I assume. Whatever LORAL and its chairman statements will be solid evidences for future LORAL shareholders' lawsuit if he did lie. Can the media take any responsibility at all if they were wrong? Certainly not. Do you really have to jump to the conclusion that early? 2) It is also the fact that you choose to believe the Chinese donation + Mr. Schwartz donation + Mr. Clinton's sat. policy decision (involoved pros and cons) are totally wedded together. They may have other combinations or no connection at all whatsoever. Give it a thought. Brian H.

Duncan, quid pro quo is almost always improvable, but the timeline is convincing. Clinton's sanctions against the waivers in his first year could only be described as a cynical means of "shaking down" Loral. Of course, he couldn't foresee the Long March launch failure, oh well, s*** happens......
