 As a public service I hereby post verbatim excerpts I have transcribed from
an
 interview with then Presidential candidate George Bush (A) conducted by
 Pacifica National News reporter Amy Goodman (Q) in June of 1988.
 
 Q: Mr. Vice President, last week you said drug kingpins should be given the
 death penalty. Do you think Noriega, if convicted should be given the death
 penalty?
 
 A: Let's establish, let the conviction establish that he's a drug kingpin. I
 certainly think he should be brought to trial and that's hard to do-
 
 Q: But if he's found guilty should he be given the death penalty?
 
 A: Whoa, whoa, let's wait and see what the severity of the, uh, of the
 allegation is.
 
 Q: The Drug Enforcement administration was saying as early as 1972 that
Noriega
 was involved with drugs. On Friday your National Security advisor Donald
Gregg
 said under oath that in the 70's you met with Noriega as director of Central
 Intelligence. Did you knew [sic] then about Noriega's involvement in drugs?
If
 not, why not and what did you discuss at that meeting?
 
 A: The answer to your question is no. And why not I can't, uh, I can't
imagine
 an answer because I *did not* know that and I've said that over and over
again.
 
 Q: Then you met with him in the 70's?
 
 A: I, uh, can't deny that I met with him, yeah. The United States had a
certain
 relationship with the head of the Panamanian Defense Forces. But *yes* you
deal
 with the Defense Ministers of countries that, uh, that you, uh, may not agree
 with on everything but there was no allegation, uh, to *my* knowledge of
 narcotics then and I've said that over and over again.
 
 Q: What does that say about your ability as leader of the CIA not to know
about
 information that was coming out of the DEA?
 
 A: (long pause) I don't know what it says about that. I think it says it's
 absurd to go back into 1976 when there was *no* allegations of this nature
 brought to the attention of the Director of Central Intelligence to second-
 guess. That's what it says about it.
 
 ------------------------------
 Q: Mr. Vice President, you've said that neither you nor your National
Security
 Advisor Gregg were involved in Contra re-supply.
 
 A: Yeah.
 
 Q: But Colonel North wrote in his notebook that in September 1985 when it was
 illegal to sell arms to the Contras, he met with Donald Gregg to discuss
Contra
 re-supply in Ilapongo, the base for secret Contra re-supply operations.
You've
 called Colonel North a national hero. What do you, what's your response to
this
 entry in his notebook?
 
 A: I don't know anything about the entry but Don Gregg testified on that
under
 oath and I would refer you to his, uh, his testimony, and that's *all* I know
 about it.
 
 Q: Now there've been a lot of reports that say that Donald Gregg helped
 coordinate the Contra re-supply operation which was partially funded by
drugs.
 One of the sources was this Oregon businessman named Richard Brenneke. Last
 week you said that he wasn't credible because he's under indictment. In fact
he
 *isn't*. Why did you say that?
 
 A: Made a mistake.
 
 --------------------------------
 While this by itself proves nothing about Bush's involvement with drug money,
 it certainly goes to show how big of a lying bastard Bush is. He's NOT
TELLING
 THE TRUTH! HE IS A LIAR! C'mon folks- Bush weasled away from Dan Rather's
 questions about Iran-Contra by calling it "A re-hashing of Iran-Contra" when
in
 fact there has YET to be any hashing about the involvement of the White House
 in the first place. I don't wanna hear any crap about "well, every politician
 has dirty linen in his closet" because this is irrelevant. We need to bear in
 mind that this is a former director of the CIA talking (or not talking as the
 case may be) and it is woefully obvious that he is entirely unsuitable to
lead
 a democracy simply because he refuses to answer questions without resorting
to
 lies and obfuscation. We've done a very stupid thing by placing a former CIA
 chief in the White House. Remember that the CIA HAS NO POLICY OF ITS OWN. The
 CIA IS ENTIRELY AN INSTRUMENT OF THE PRESIDENT. There is a built-in immunity
 which supposedly serves to give the President and Vice President a way out by
 claiming that "they didn't know". This is a bunch of crap and it shows here
in
 these excerpts. Note how Bush wouldn't even say that Noriega should receive
the
 death penalty. At the time this would have been a very uncomfortable thing to
 escape from had he said it. It doesn't matter now that he's the Prez and has
 sent in US troops to collar his old crony Noriega. Note also that there are
 charges being dropped against Noriega because if they weren't then the court
 (and the public) would get a good long look at Bush's (and Reagan's) dirty
 drug-stained hands.


--------------------------------

Sorry about the rather haphazard look of all of that. I u/l'd the only version
of this text I still have left (which is a PRT version), I sorta deleted the
original and I dinna wanna go to all of the trouble of re-setting the margins.
So Sioux me.

In any case, as we crawl towards November, take a good long look at this
transcript AND the world around you, AND your dwindling bank account, AND your
shriveling horizon of opportunity,

AND SEND BUSH BACK TO TEXAS THIS FALL. Despite the fact that he deserves to go
to jail for a FUCKING long time for his criminal activities (Reagan too),
let's at least deny him the Oval Office this time around. Let's not be so
monumentally, unspeakably stupid as to re-elect this bastard!

There ya go
