See my second to last post - "Wilson was surprised that spring to hear that the [BUSH I] administration was not putting in a request for more money. [was turning off the spigot] There had been meetings in Wilson's office and talks with Judge William Webster, the new director of Central Intelligence, about the coming year's budget, but the Agency was no longer of a single mind. The Bush administration, however, wanted out of this game [Wanted to Turn Off the Spigot] -- so the CIA's seventh floor had no choice but to reflect the opinion of their masters in the White House."

My Enemy's Enemy by George Crile
Yes. I ignored it the first time because you took that quote after the Soviet/Afghanistan conflict was over. Money was already stolen. You are pulling text and twisting to create an impression that is not there.
>>>Are all those "Mujahadeen" that you listed Afgani Mujahadeen that were fighting the Soviets?
Mujahadeen are not country based. They are cultural cause based. Militant Islam answers to an Arab Nation. Not a country.
>>How bad was Murtha involved in Abscam? I didn't see him listed as "convicted" on your link, unlike the others.

O'Neill put Wilson on the Ethics Committee to save Murtha, which he did. In return, O'Neill assigned Wilson to the defense appropriations subcommittee and made him a life member of the governing board of the John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center, where he delighted in taking his young dates.
>>>But that still doesn't make him a traitor.
I believe this was our original discussion. Traitor is aiding enemies of the State. I was trying to show he did with assisting in arming Militant Islam.
"Mujahadeen are not country based."
Are all communists equal too? We must have the same relationship with the Chinese that we do with the Cubans?
The Afgani Mujahadeen were helping us throughout the 80s discomfort the Russians. What's the difference then in your mind between Reagan and Murtha?
I don't see how I'm pulling text and twisting it to create an impression that's not there. Maybe you better restate what you mean by:
"I'm still waiting for you show me something that says 'The Bush I Admnistration had said to turn off the spigot'?"
