Foster was going to spill his guts. In particular, while 48 other states stopped selling prison blood in 1982, after being asked the the FDA, Arkansas and Louisiana kept selling. Arkansas sold prison blood until 1994, to, among other places, the Canadian Red Cross. To this day, the CRC is not allowed to be involved with blood collection in any way. The blood went through about 5-6 intermediaries. Over 6,000 Canadians died as a result of the bad blood (many prisoners donating blood were dying, of hepatitis and AIDS). Only two U.S. newspapers covered the story, one Arkansas paper and the Village Voice of NYC.

It was a big story in Canada. I had at the time a friend who worked the police beat for a major Canadian newspaper.

Foster was also making day trips to Switzerland.....

another inconvenient fact lost down the memory hole.

Bill Clinton knowingly selling AIDS and hepatitis tainted blood to Canadians. The entire scandal is posted in old FR threads.

Over 6,000 Canadians died as a result of the bad blood (many prisoners donating blood were dying, of hepatitis and AIDS).

Ping to # 258 , and also # 259 about Vince Foster making day trips to Switzerland. I recall Paul Harvey news reporting Foster would fly to London carrying a briefcase and then buy a ticket to Switzerland, back to London, back to the US, so no one would know Vince Foster's true destination. Apparently Foster was carrying cash, for deposit in Clinton's secret, numbered, Swiss bank accounts.

This is the first I've ever heard of this blood thing - thanks for the heads up.

Bill Clinton spread AIDS to our Canadian friend's whata guy.
