Recently, a spokesman for the Vice President defended Gore’s actions, claiming that “none of the weapons included in the agreement met the standard for triggering sanctions under the Gore-McCain law.” But Secretary of State Madeleine Albright clearly has a different opinion. In a secret letter uncovered by the Washington Times, and sent last January to Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, the Secretary of State admitted, “Without the aide memoire, Russia’s conventional arms sales to Iran would have been subject to sanctions based on various provisions of our laws” [10/18/00]. Secretary Albright’s comments seem to indicate a clear commitment was given by the Vice President to ignore domestic sanctions laws.Why, what was in it for him? Russia donating to his Presidential campaign? There has got to be something in it for him to override sanctions with his name on it. And why didn't McCain start shouting from the rooftops, since he was running for Pres too??

Why indeed? Why are you the only one asking those questions? Not unimportant questions, given the current climate, but how about that Britney?
