Alex, if you would have kept the first part of my message, I stated two
sources of information concerning Carter and BCCI, a Time magazine cover
story and a report by the TV show "60 Minutes".  BCCI basically bought-out
one of Carter's main cabinet officers after they were voted out, namely
"Mr. Democrat" Clark Clifford (that's what the 60 Minute article called him).
Plus, you never responded to my note that BCCI also paid for Carter to fly
all over the world.  Again this is from the Time and 60 Minute articles.

Eventhough the Justice Dept. has not press charges against Carter, does not
mean how Carter behaved toward BCCI was not unethical.  And this from a man
who demanded morality in Foriegn Affairs.  Basically, Carter wanted the money
for his "charity work" and BCCI wanted a big name to use on people to get more
money and business.  The ammazing thing is that by all appearance both Carter
and Clifford knew that this was what BCCI wanted from them.

It is clear from your selective editting of my first posting, you will only
believe what you want to believe.  That is your problem, and not the so-called
"right-wing conservatives" that you call when someone diagrees with you.

ONCE AGAIN, RATHER THAN BLABBER ABOUT A SUBJECT, GO OUT AND RESEARCH IT!!!
