Harken was awarded a contract to drill some well for the Bahrainis about the time that they bought Spectrum7. President Bush was given some stock for his holdings in Spec7 and a position on the BOD at Harken. Nothing new about all that. The Harken stock was in a long slow decline at that time if anyone wants to go look at the graphs.
I think I prolly have some articles marked somewhere that will mention the Bahrain deal. But that has never been the real controversy, it's always been the "insider trading" when he sold his stock and liquidated his loan with the Midland Bank that he had gotten when he bought his share of the Texas Rangers.
Thanks,deport for all of the info.I'm not at all familiar with the Bahrainis and Spectrum7 angle of it.
