Let me try to clear up this clearance misunderstanding. First of all, that
travel WOULD have a bearing on getting the clearance. The applicant would
be asked details about the trip (just like we are asking of BC). Files would
be searched, and if nothing negative came up, he would probably be granted
the clearance.

So, clearances are affected, and failure to come clean, or lying about
the issue (which Clinton has done) would count negatively towards
the granting of a clearance.

By the way, I demonstrated against the war while holding a Secret/Crypto
clearance, and it had no effect when I converted that clearance later
from military to civilian. However, they were very curious about my
trip to East Berlin that I took in 1966. My father, who held very high
clearances, was prohibitted from travelling to Iron Curtain countries
for many years.

Actually, I think the FBI investigation done before significant judicial
appointments is very similar to that background investigation required
for a high level clearance.

I can't believe that you you can say that after watching Clinton this year.
He has been quite deceptive... even when there was no apparent gain from
it (which is , by the way, a sign of a pathalogical liar). I have seen
him lie about several details of the Jennifer Flowers affair; about
many issues on the draft; and now, he has lied a number of times about
his European travels. I am amazed that you haven't caught these... I guess
you just don't want to see them.
]Irrelevent. Clinton is not running as a car salesman.

No, he is running for something far more important. He is acting, however,
like a car salesman.
