The Enron Corporation: Corporate Complicity in Human Rights Violations

This is from a post of mine a couple of days ago but I think it bears repeating anytime Clinton's name is mentioned between now and the day I die.

Clinton's legacy is over 3,000 combined American Dead from the WTC, Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. Not to mention the two embassies in Africa, the Rangers in Somalia, the Air Force dead at Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, the 27 dead sailors from the USS Cole, the dead in Bosnia, and the 8 dead in the first WTC bombing. Then there are the ongoing question marks about OKC and TWA Flight 800. Without putting on too much tinfoil, "Were those some of the early shots fired by Bin Laden that the Clinton Administration covered up so that the facade of 'It's the economy stupid' could continue."

Another very real legacy of the Clinton Administration and the foreign policy team is the pending conflict in South Asia between Pakistan and India. Both countries were suspected to have nuclear weapons for decades. Until Clinton made the world doubt US resolve and changed the policy on US Nuclear retaliation in 1993 both countries were happy to allow the ongoing speculation about their nuclear stockpiles. But thanks to Clinton, both countries felt compelled to assure each other - and China - that they were nuclear capable. This little foray is what has helped escalate the current situation to the nearly untenable level that we are currently experiencing.

History will be a much harder judge of Clinton than we on FreeRepublic have been. Historians will have the graves and the statistics to back them up. We still have to debate about whether his legacy is a stained blue dress or treason.

"I am a bit skeptical when it comes to HRW!"

I agree, which is why I focused on the relationships among Enron, the Indian officials, and the Clinton administration in this article. That's what got my attention. HRW's complaints have little to do with cozy relationships between Enron and the Clintonites; they're angry about how protesters were treated or some such. Not to sound flip, but that's not of interest to me here. The fact that the media is playing "shark" to Enron's "blood in the water" and trying to tie it all to Bush, ignoring previous Democrat relationships to Enron? THAT interests me.
