>It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video
>of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the
>Reagan Administration.
>
>There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but
>what he said was stunning!
>
>He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to
>$60,000 for a home security system?"
>
>Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."
>
>The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't
>that just a little excessive?"
>
>"No, sir," continued Ollie.
>
>"No? And why not?" the senator asked.
>
>"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."
>
>"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.
>
>"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.
>
>"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"
>
>"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.
>
>At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce
>it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people
>laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of
>this man?" the senator asked.
>
>"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie
>answered.
>
>"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.
>
>"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be
>formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."
>
>The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of
>the clip.

>
>By the way, that senator was Al Gore

>Also:
>
>Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis
>captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the
>Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political
>prisoners."
>
>However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands, The
>American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State,
>Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released.
>
>Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an
>airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many
>of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first
>identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.
>
>If you agree that the American public must be made aware of this fact, pass
>this on.
