Dennis Bernstein: The bank manager there was indicted, something over three hundred counts. Supposedly it was a one man operation, where this one guy, this bank manager, managed to funnel over two billion dollars into Iraqi supply dumps. You believe that? Well don't. Twenty congressmen in 1992 didn't either, and they asked for a special prosecutor. It never came, but their charges were they were accusing the Administration of, among other things: conspiracy to defraud the US and to commit offenses against the US, making false statements, obstruction of justice, concealment of falsification of records, perjury, mail and wire fraud, financial conflict of interest by high executive branch officials.

There was an ongoing, full-court press to shut this story down. The judge in the trial finally lost it and started giving these declarations from the bench about the fact that this was a major cover up, that US agencies were in fact misleading the court, lying, calling the prosecutors, refusing to allow investigators to go and investigate the connection between BNL in Atlanta and the mother bank in Italy. In other words, five agencies, at least, of the United States government were involved in a full-fledged cover up. When the Clinton people came in, in 1992, Gore said in a campaign speech, "This is worse than Watergate." As soon as they got elected, they said, "We gotta lay off that Iraq thing now. We've got what we needed, we've got the election, we've got to move on."
