And you'll remember that the grey eminence of the Democratic Party, Clark Clifford, was involved in BCCI up to his ears. He wasn't prosecuted "because he was too old to go to jail."
So, what does Clark Clifford and the Democratic Party know about their business partner Osama bin Laden, and when did they know it? Oh, they're liberals, we don't want to hurt the children. Deep six this story.

Take a look at the Christopher Byron link above.

BCCI was a bi-partisan affair.
To: Pokey78,Alamo-Girl
Alamo-Girl,
Long ago, when we first met, I sent you information about the connections of people between the B.C.C.I., the health care crisis "industry," and the Democrat National Committee.
There is a whole lot more to this story, than the customers of this bank.
Many of the key officials and / or their close associates were Democrat Party players.
If anybody wants to know more, search on the Internet, for Jesse Jackson's old mentor, Clark Clifford.
You'll eventually accumulate a who's who of the infamous players in the Clinton Administration.
B.C.C.I. "higher-ups" had their right hand in the "bank," and their left hand in many a person's pocket, which persons later became Clinton Admin. officials.
And then look up Evercore Partners in N.Y.C., and see how many of Clinton-dom, now have some sort of a stake in that enterprise.
Evercore Partners, which owns American Media, which runs the National Enquirer.
The boss of American Media, David Pecker, was hired away from his post at another publisher (Hachette-F...); at which executive loft, he directed the operating capital for John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s George Magazine.
When Hillary decided to run for the New York Senate seat, suddenly, JFK, Jr., who also had such a dream, found himself having to rescue his other dream, the magazine, because his credit fell through the floor, the instant Pecker was summoned.
Thank Hillary, New York, for some of your troubles.

The British, not the USA, "shut down" the BCCI. By closing the U.K. branches and blocking all accounts the Brits effectively bankrupted BCCI. If Kerry didn't know by 1991 that Bin Ladin's Al Qaida had been using the BCCI Islamabad Branch office then he is dumber than I thought, or else the US intelligence services don't trust him because they certainly knew it.

The Jihad (Holy War) is what Osama bin Laden would like his followers and the world to believe, but after reading this article, the real reason for bombing the symbol of American capital is based good old fashion "GREED." What a hypocrite!

BCCI. Part of the big picture. Some fear the govt. might really not want to unearth all teh facts surrounding bin Laden and company because of where it points. With the Fox News ticker referring to potential $1.4 Trillion in criminal money connected to this case, the mind boggles.

Byron pulls the usual leftist spin:
One of Bushs original partners in his oil company - which initially bore the name Arbusto Corp. had been a fellow named James Bath. Bath in turn had contacts in the Middle East and was actually named in a 1976 trust document as the Houston business representative for none other than Salem M. bin Laden, a half-brother of the infamous Osama bin Laden, who is accused of masterminding the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. without outlining that what bin Laden had dozens of brothers, and must have had 100's of half-brothers. Sheesh. Kinda remote on the surface.
But further misses the significance of the connection to
Jackson Stephens
and X42.

Swaleh Naqvi, BCCI's former chief executive, was tried separately in America. He was jailed in 1994 for 11 years and three months on fraud and racketeering charges, but has been released and is living in Pakistan.

When Harken needed capital to expand, Bush by then a member of Harkens board helped the company obtain a $25 million infusion from the Union Bank of Switzerland, via an Arkansas investment banker named Jackson Stephens. never have understood why UBS would take a $25mm equity position in a texas wildcatter? wouldn't think a conservative swiss bank was into venture capital.

See above reply link. Discard some questionable sites and you've still got a ton of good info.
