One duely bookmarked.
According to the FBI summaries, Trie said Fu and his wife, Violetta, were “silent partners” in the formation of Trie’s Daihatsu International Trading Inc. and invested thousands of dollars in start-up capital. According to government sources who have seen Trie’s full FBI interviews, the Fu’s gave Trie $40,000 in “start-up capital” for this joint venture.
In fact, Fu tells Insight in an exclusive interview that he was not a “partner” with Trie and did not invest money in Daihatsu, per se. But he admits that he and his wife lent the Tries $40,000 as a favor and that the loan was repaid. At the same time, Fu acknowledges that the registered mailing address for Daihatsu was Fu’s home in Little Rock, Ark. “At that time [December 1991], Charlie’s wife and my wife tried to open a company,” Fu tells Insight. Mrs. Fu quit the business after a few weeks, Fu says. “Violetta felt she was incapable of handling the business because of lack of experience and lack of language ability.” He says he is not aware of any business conducted by Daihatsu or United Biotech, another trading company registered by Trie during the 1992 presidential campaign season.
Of a truth, I suspect most of the journalists are busily rewording and expanding on articles written by "experts" in other publications - rather than doing their own research. I don't know if it is fear of lawsuits, the need to break news faster than the next guy, the lack of funds to support research, failure of management support for investigative journalism, laziness or what! Sigh...
At this rate, Clinton may indeed be earning himself a Lethal Injection...MUD

Anthrax Vaccine Crowe British
From: How Bioport Finds the Admiral
According to Coupe, when Crowe returned from England in 1997, he was approached by Fuad El-Hibri's father, Ibrahim El-Hibri. The elder El-Hibri, whom the admiral had met a decade before, invited Crowe to serve on the board of Intervac.
"The admiral is commonly referred to as the person who bought this," says Coupe, "and while I don't want to minimize his involvement, he's had no financial involvement either way - giving or getting any money."
Fuad El-Hibri appears to be the real day-to-day director of Intervac and is listed by Dun & Bradstreet as the "chief executive" of Bioport. Mrs. El-Hibri laughed when questioned by a reporter for ABC about Intervac and referred the network to her husband who did not return a call.
Experts in defense policy suggested that the Pentagon would be highly unlikely to approve the sale to a foreign national of a company that is the sole manufacturer of a vaccine considered vital to national security.
Coupe says that Crowe's ownership of Intervac stock gives him a 13 percent share of Bioport.
The only US company given the anthrax vaccine contract. Crowe - a friend of Bill.
The evidence of the fermenting machine’s sale and transfer sometime in 1993 to the Changchun Biological Products Institute is alarming, according to Leitner, given that the Chinese facility has been flagged by some experts as a biological-weapons laboratory run by the People’s Liberation Army.
The 500-liter fermentation tank transferred to the Changchun facility would be prohibited for sale by the Department of Defense’s Militarily Critical Technologies List because it allows the manufacture of large quantities of biological agents, such as botulism or anthrax bacteria
the transfer of the highly sophisticated pharmaceutical-grade fermenting machine poses significant risks to U.S. security at home and abroad if used to make advanced germ-warfare products such as anthrax and botulism.
Here we have an FDA guy who is head of the toxicology branch of his lab, who gives Trie $40,000 and gets introduced to the manager of a bioweapons program in China. They gave direct assistance to a biological-weapons program, and the FBI did not follow up.
You don't see the relevance to today's international situation or the Clinton administration's culpability here? We must be reading different articles.
Want to help Freep VOA? The head is a Clinton appointee / Gore fundraiser and he and 150 of his fellow traitor-government employees at the State Dept. refused their Commander-in-Chief's request NOT to play Taliban propaganda. VOA is OUR way of communicating OUR side, our freedom, our generosity, our greatness to the mis-informed world, and our troops risking their lives in enemy territory. Let's get them all fired and replace them with anti-leftist patriot radio folks!
Our Inspector Clouseau Press
This wasn't meant to be a Clinton thread..necessarily. The DU (most definitely Clinton-connected) accused "right-wing" radicals of the anthrax attacks. The press is ignoring many possible leads, from the American Muslims who blame the left even more than the right (though we're all infidels) for corrupting their youth, to evidence from articles such as this that contain references to FBI reports showing an increase in PRC Bioweapons production. There have been recent stories about the Chinese arming the Taliban, the Chinese providing the advanced encryption technology that allows Usama to contact his minions and keep an eye on us, and the former "Silk Road" (now the "Opium Road") between Afghanistan and China has been well-traveled in recent years by drug-runners making a fortune on the black market. Some Chinese have been working very closely with the Taliban for years.
The transfer of oversight from Defense to Commerce under the Clinton administration, the selling of technology that can threaten our national security for campaign dollars is very relevant today. We know China sells to our enemies. They now have both the equipment and know-how to make weapons grade anthrax.
