On July 22, 2002, both the OIC and Foster's former wife and one of his sister's filed petitions for rehearing in the Ninth Circuit to stop release of 4 of the 10 Fort Marcy Park Polaroid body photos. Under the court rules, I do not get to respond unless the court asks for a response. In their petitions they pretend that I presented absolutly no evidence establishing that the Fiske and Starr reports on the death were untrustworthy. Of course, before the district court and the Ninth Circuit, they had a chance to show how I was wrong about that and they completely failed to do so. All they can do is quote from Judge Pregerson's dissent in the July 2000 appellate decision that was riddled with major errors. The petitions are in the Foster section of my web site.

Who is the IC now?
(I assume you are referring to Bill Clinton.)
This is disinformation.
There is no evidence that Bill Clinton and Vince Foster were close friends, or even friends. Foster was 19 months older than Clinton. They lived on adjoining properties in Hope until Clinton was four years old. Then Clinton moved to the other side of town for two years before moving to Hot Springs 75 miles away.
They didn't grow up together. They didn't go to high school together. They didn't go to college together. They didn't go to law school together, and they didn't go to Moscow together.
If you go to a decent library you can find books which record the words of our Presidents. These have speeches, press conferences, etc. In the 1993 volume for President Clinton you will not find a single sentence where he uses the words friend and Foster together. (There was an impromptu press conference near a watermelon stand in Hope the day of the Foster funeral though.)
Several years ago when the Hubbster (who was an adult friend of both Clinton and Foster) was hawking his book, I had an opportunity to ask him about the Clinton-Foster friendship on Bob Grant's radio show with Grant playing straight man: "Where are we going with this, Mike?" he asked. I explained and the Hubbster didn't challenge anything I said. When I asked the Hubbster about the sort of things that Foster and Clinton did together, his answer to me was, "How would I know? I wasn't there." (Consider the absurdity of this statement from similar supposed relationships in your own life.)
One final note about my conversation with the Hubbster: When I mentioned golf as an example of something that Clinton and Foster might have done together, the Hubbster told me, "Vince didn't play golf." I find it more than interesting that the rotund one is on record describing events on that mysterious weekend where he "cheered up" Foster on Maryland's Eastern Shore immediately preceding Fosters demise. He says that he and Foster "hit golf balls."
It's easy to tell when these guys are lying, which is almost any time they open their mouths.

Remember the ancient chinese curse is a two parter and most folks never remember the more important second part... "May you live in interesting times... And come to the attention of powerful people!"
Whatever happens at the Ninth Circuit, any party that didn't get everything it wanted will probably ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. But that is totally discretionary with the SC and the odds are less than 1 in a hundred that they would hear it, if you ask me.

And thanks for your comment. It really helps people like myself who still keep at this after nine years.

Was the sister Sheila Anthony? Was she the same one who cut the 2 or 3 hundred dollar check to Lisa Foster right after the "suicide"? (The check being cut while good 'ole Sheila was holding down a big 'ole job in the Clinton administration.) Thanks, AJF for all your brave efforts and I really hope you are successful eventually.
