and the SEC files on Zapata Offshore between 1960 and 1966, when Bush had exclusive control of the company, were destroyed by the SEC either in 1981, when Bush had just become vice president, or somewhat later, in October, 1983, according to various SEC officials. Bush nevertheless created a network of subsidiaries which was suspiciously complex. This topic is difficult to research because of the very convenient disappearance of the Zapata Offshore filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington for the year 1960-1966 which were "inadvertently" destroyed by a federal warehouse.Why does this sort of thing still have the power to astound and disappoint me?
Probably because we expect our leaders to have a minimal amount of ethics and integrity and to uphold the so-called "Rule of Law" and the Constitution that they have sworn an oath to uphold.

We are the Law so therefore we are above the Law
The Clinton's simply took public corruption to a new level !!!!!!!!
It really doesn't matter if they are Republican or Democrat.
Uncle Bill's posts explain why have 50% of the registered voters no longer vote and over 60% of the population doesn't trust the U.S. Government.
It also helps explain why Bush and Ashcroft have never expressed any interest in pursuing the Clinton's for their crimes and the destruction of White House property,(the ultimate slap in the face to the U.S. public by both the Republicans and Democrats)
