Will GWB ever talk about Barbouti ? ;)
CJ
example take the case of Ishan Barbouti, who once had a WMD plant in Boca
Raton, just around the corner of the first Anthrax case last year, American
Media Inc, which is based at Broken Sound Boulevard in Boca Raton
(http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/anthplantx.html).
But the reason Bush will NEVER expose these links is that US judge Eileen
O'Neill once ruled that ex-president George Bush Sr could be subpoenaed
during an investigation because of his links with Barbouti.
Makes me think about the connections between the Bush and Bin Laden family.

02/27/1993 HOUSTON (AP) -- A judge ruled that testimony by former
President Bush can be subpoenaed in an investigation into a mysterious Iraqi
dealmaker who may have helped set up poison gas programs in Iraq and Libya.
District Judge Eileen O'Neill agreed Friday to order Bush's deposition in a
civil lawsuit by former business associates of Dr.
Ihsan Barbouti, who say they were defrauded through illegal export schemes.
Barbouti was reported to have died of heart disease at age 63 in July 1990,
but some believe he feigned his death and is in hiding.
Lloyd's of London insurance company has refused to pay Barbouti's life
insurance claim.
The U.S. Department of Justice did not oppose the issuance of a subpoena but
reserved the right to establish with attorneys what is
protected by executive privilege, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sam Longoria told
the judge.
The subpoena pertains to a lawsuit filed on behalf of Rig Structures &
Supply Co. and three former Barbouti associates or
employees, Arthur J. Valentz, Bob McCurdy and James Olen Groves, all of
Houston.
The original plaintiff, P.J. Enterprises, which is purported to be a
Barbouti-controlled company, alleges it was defrauded by the
three men.
Brian Bro, an attorney representing the some of the parties in the case,
said a tentative date to take Bush's testimony would be in
May. Bush spokesman Andrew Maner said he had no comment but would consult
with an attorney for the former president.
Barbouti, family members and business associates are being investigated by
the federal government. Barbouti and his eldest son,
Haidar, are alleged to have used IBI Industries in Houston and other
companies as fronts to export petroleum industry technology, with military
applications, to Libya and Iraq.
In court documents in a related civil case, the Department of Justice
identified the elder Barbouti as "the designer, prime
contractor, and chief procurement agent" for a chemical weapons plant at
Rabta, Libya.

ABC-TELEVISION NETWORK ANNOUNCER:
ABC News Nightline Financial Times investigation continues.
Once again -- Ted Koppel.
TED KOPPEL:
The U.S. Government knew who Dr. Ishan Barbouti was. To use the
Government's own description:
"He was a linchpin of the Libyan chemical warfare plant at Rabta."
.... His particular passion was companies -- particularly chemical
companies -- with dual use technology; those, in other words, that
had military as well as civilian application, like the "natural
cherry flavoring" plant in Boca Raton, Florida.
Peter Kawaja is a securities specialist. In early 1989, Kawaja was
hired to provide armed guards and an elaborate security system for
the plant. Among the items he was told to install was a hydrogen-
cyanide detection system. Kawaja was also instructed to take armed
teams of guards to Barbouti properties in Texas and in Oklahoma.
Kawaja provided bodyguards for Barbouti's partner, Louis Champon,
and for Barbouti's college-age son, Haidar.
Kawaja claims that, in the spring of 1989, he called the Central
Intelligence Agency and told them about [Barbouti's] plant in
Boca Raton, Florida.
..... in 1989, the C.I.A., the F.B.I. and U.S. Customs had been
told about Dr. Barbouti's activities here in the United States.
In point of fact, however, the C.I.A. had been informed
much earlier. .....
DAVID J. SMITH, EDITOR, NEWSWATCH MAGAZINE:
No wonder they [the Government] had to seal those documents
[that they had seized from Peter Kawaja]. Federal agents
provided their own evidence that Ishan Barbouti had established
chemical warfare production capabilities at a facility identified
as Product Ingredient Technology [a supposed cherry flavorings
plant] in Boca Raton, Florida.
Federal agents also provided their own evidence that Barbouti
owned specialty chemical companies and a company in Belgium
identified as CROSS LINK. Now, remember, these were federal
agents, and this was their own testimony.
Federal agents also provided their own evidence that Ishan
Barbouti was supplying military items to Iraq, which was illegal.
All of this and more was sworn to by federal agents in 1990.
Yet, all of the evidence that was taken -- under an ILLEGAL
search warrant from Peter Kawaja in his offices -- was sealed
and made secret from Americans. And the president and commander-
in-chief at that time, George Bush, went ahead with a war against
Iraq, knowingly placing sons, daughters, husbands and wives of
American citizens in harm's way -- knowing that they would be
sprayed with these biological [warfare] agents.
None of this evidence was ever presented to the grand jury
in order to indict anyone. It was sealed! Yet, Peter Kawaja --
who was subpoenaed to appear as the star witness for the
Government, supposedly against Barbouti and the terrorists --
was not even allowed to answer pertinent questions that the
jurors wanted to ask him. And when Peter Kawaja attempted to
tell the truth to the jurors, the Assistant United States
Attorney, Thomas O'Malley shut down the grand jury and dismissed
them, and he dismissed Peter Kawaja, and [he has] now motioned,
in a federal court, to drop all of the lawsuits and all of this
information.
And, you know, it is so interesting that they transferred all of
this information -- all of the documents that were not returned
to Peter Kawaja -- to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building
in Oklahoma City.
I just wonder why there was an explosion at that building!
I wonder if it wasn't perpetrated in order to cover up something
that was transpiring in the Government of the United States,
such that if it was brought to the forefront ....
[JD: ... it would have toppled the Government.]
ABC-Television went down to interview Mr. Peter Kawaja. After the interview
was over, he asked them when they were going to air it. They said:
"We can't air this. It would topple the Government of the United States."
