- From THE NATION Magazine, February 24, 1992:
- By Alexander Cockburn

- (continuation)
- Reed, in a suit filed July 5, 1991, has charged the two with
- preparing and presenting false evidence for the purpose of
- furthering a false prosecution. We do know a number of things
- already. Buddy Young made his calls from Bill Clinton's mansion.
- Young and Baker have admitted to entering Reed's hangar three
- times without a warrant. They have admitted to tampering with
- the plane. When they finally did obtain a warrant, it was on
- the basis of misrepresentations. They subsequently made false
- statements to a federal grand jury as well as, on more than
- one occasion, in hearings related to United States vs. Reed.
- Finally, evidence that might have helped Reed's case was
- secreted in Young's office in Clinton's mansion when it was
- supposed to have been in federal court. A federal judge involved
- in the case, Frank Theis, declared that Baker and Young had
- acted with "reckless disregard for the truth." Reed was
- acquitted when the court determined that the government
- did not have enough legitimate evidence to convict him.
- Reed's lawyer, John Wesley Hall, told my colleague Bryce
- Hoffman that it is extremely unlikely that a police officer
- would ever be convicted of perjury in Arkansas.
-
- In early 1988, while his security chief was embroiled in the
- case against Reed, also while Lawrence Walsh was accumulating
- evidence for his prosecutions in the Iran/contra affair,
- Bill Clinton gave a job to another contra veteran recently
- returned from Honduras--Larry Nichols. As I described here
- two weeks ago, Nichols was set up with a job as director of
- marketing in the Arkansas Development Finance Authority. Later
- in 1988, asked about this by a journalist, Clinton hastily
- fired Nichols. Seeking retribution, Nichols prepared a lawsuit,
- from whose allegations Star drew its story concerning
- Gennifer Flowers.
-
- As these allegations caught fire in January, Nichols confided
- --so a member of the Arkansas Committee in Fayetteville tells us
- --that Buddy Young had phoned to tell him as an old friend that
- if he kept this up he was "a dead man." On January 25, the night
- before Bill Clinton was scheduled to go before the nation on 60
- Minutes to deny an affair with Flowers, Nichols put his name to
- a statement crafted to discredit all his previous assertions,
- concluding that "in trying to destroy Clinton" it had turned out
- that "there's not a whole lot of difference between me and what
- the reporters are doing today."
-
- Final thought. If, in the old days, a gentleman had no secrets
- from his valet, a modern governor has no secrets from his
- personal security chief, particularly in the matter of making
- unofficial assignations.

- A telephone interview with Mark Swaney from "Faithful Arkansas",
- a citizens group, revealing Bill Clinton's and George Bush's
- partnership in the CIA's drug smuggling industry which for years
- has been funneling tons of narcotics through Mena, Arkansas
- and into the hands of America's youth.
-
- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
- MARK SWANEY:
- ..... they set up a front company in Guadalajara, Mexico, the
- purpose of which, he [Terry Reed] was told, was to smuggle weapons to the Contras in Central America. And he was to be the front man
- -- he was to provide the front cover for this company, but he
- was given to know that behind the scenes they [the CIA] would
- be using this company to smuggle weapons. So he was okay with
- that and he went down to Guadalajara and was down there until
- the summer of `87. Actually, the plane was shot down in `86,
- so this operation in Mexico continued for a year after the
- Iran-Contra story was breaking, and that's something that a
- lot of people don't know. They think that Iran-Contra/Contra
- Resupply stopped when the revelations were made in '86, but
- they actually continued.
-
- Anyway, in the summer of `87, even as the hearings were going
- on in Congress, Terry Reed began to suspect they were using
- his front company for something other than smuggling weapons.
- And one day he was looking for a lathe in one of his warehouses
- by the airport there in Guadalajara, and he went in and opened
- up an air freight shipping container (which are very large;
- they're about 28 feet long, 7 feet high, 8 feet wide), and he
- found it packed full of cocaine when he opened it up. He immediately
- realized he was in a very precarious situation because he was
- the only one on paper who had anything to do with that company,
- and if they had ever gotten caught, there was nobody to stand
- up and say: "Well this guy didn't know anything." He was going
- to be a patsy if anything went wrong. So he decided he wasn't
- going to play the part of the patsy. The man who was his contact
- man for the CIA in Mexico was Felix Rodriquez. So he confronted
- Felix Rodriquez and said: "Well listen. I didn't bargain on getting
- into narcotics smuggling, and I'm out of this altogether, guys.
- I'm leaving now. I refuse to have anything further to do with
- this." And Felix Rodriquez said: "Okay, fine. If you want to be
- out, you're out." Now before he was able to return even to Little
- Rock, Arkansas where his home was at the time, Governor Clinton's
- Chief of Security, a man named Raymond Buddy Young, and
- another man, Tommy Baker, private investigator and, I'm told,
- former member of the Arkansas State Police, were framing
- Terry Reed for mail fraud. What this involved was the so-called
- Project Donation that Oliver North had set up. Terry
- Reed's plane had been stolen a number of years earlier,
- and used in drug missions and such without his knowledge.
- And he claimed the insurance money for his plane being stolen.
- And so, to set him up, what they did was take the airplane
- and put it back in his hangar before he got back to Arkansas.
- Governor Clinton's Chief of Security just supposedly happened
- --and this is what he tells the press -- he says: "One day I
- just happened to be walking by this hangar, and the wind just
- happened to blow the door open and I just happened to look in
- and see this airplane that was stolen four years earlier in
- another state and I realized that was the plane." And so this
- is how the case got started.
-
- PAUL DeRIENZO:
- How would he have known that was the plane?
-
- MARK SWANEY:
- Oh, that's never been explained, along with a number of aspects
- in this famous story. We're in contact with Terry Reed's defense
- attorney in Wichita and she's promised to send us all of the
- documents. We have some of the documents already that indicate
- he would be found not guilty. Well, he never went to trial.
-
-
- PAUL DeRIENZO:
- Is that the same Buddy Young, by the way, who's head of Governor
- Clinton's security detail?
-
- MARK SWANEY:
- Yes, he is.

- This is one of countless stories unveiling the subverted, corrupt
- and fascistic state of our theoretically democratic Government.
- This story makes it disgustingly obvious that true patriotism is not
- the waving of flags, the tying of yellow ribbons and the mindless
- supporting of our Government, just because it happens to be ours.
- You don't support cancer just because you happen to have it.
- True patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our country
- in order that they may unite to conquer this anti-democratic cancer
- that is gradually destroying ours and our children's freedom.
- So please post the installments of this ongoing series to
- computer bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places,
- both on and off campus. That would be a truly patriotic deed.
