I had to get this article from Google's cache.

The article shows, more than any article I've seen yet, just how intensely the Mozambicans who dealt with Enron feel about their heavy handed use of the Clinton administration to get the pipeline deal!

He felt vindicated when a World Bank study found that many of the Mozambican concerns were warranted. Enron used its influence at very high levels.

It costs $4.95 to even do a search of the Houston Chronicle archives, but that article (which many other articles cite) sure would be interesting to see. Meanwhile, on to the World Bank archives!...

The love affair between Enron and the Clinton administration was made very clear by the presence at the signing ceremony, on 13 November 1995, of the US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, George Moose, who effusively praised "the capital, expertise and resources of companies like Enron".

Did Mr. Moose bite his sister once?

I don't see amy fingerprints of Bush/Cheney on this at all. In fact, they look suspiciously like Democrat fingerprints....

This is a great article to send to Henry Waxman. He claims to want to know all of the facts.
Here is the address to the tip line.

Wow!

This will nail Clinton's hide to the wall! And lots of his friends! He can't wiggle out of this one! We got him for sure!

Henry Waxman wants to know!!!! Calling Peter Jennings!

Oops. I mean, how awful of the Bushies. Imagine, in 1995 no less. Good thing we had Clinton protecting us back then. No telling what Bush would have gotten away with otherwise.

Why, Clinton was so smart he even tricked those Enron crooks into giving him lots of campaign contributions just before they got big government contracts.

This just gets better and better! Who would have thought that we would be agreeing with Lanny Davis that the RATS better not go there. Guess he knew where the skeletons were in the closet.

If Freepers can find all of this in 48 hours, why can't the national press corps. Bet CNN is not having a good last 24 hours after their initial jubliation! This is getting good!

Kachamila said that US senators rang up threatening the Mozambican government if it didn't sign, and even the US National Security Advisor (then Antony Lake) phoned up, trying to order the Mozambican government to sign.

Hmmm...any way we can find out just WHICH Senators they were?

And just WHAT WAS Anthony Lake...KLINTONISTA National Security Advisor...doing THREATENING Mozambique? Will Slick try and claim "I had no idea that was going on...I'm as shocked as anybody..."

"Paging Nostrilitus Waxman...Paging Nostrilitus Waxman..." do you STILL want that Congressional Investigation...because now I DO!!!!
