From: Mark Keesee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linda Ives and Jean Duffey's Most Perhaps someone will recall something on a couple of FBI agents that were in Miami in the late 80s. We know nothing about these guys except they are in Arkansas now and they are a pain in the ass. They have without question run interference for the government regarding the deaths of Kevin Ives and Don Henry and probably did the same regarding Iran-Contra in Miami. Some might say it's just a coincidence that these two guys ended up in Little Rock but we don't think so. Linda can list a 100 similar coincidences. Any information would be appreciated. mark ... FBI Miami #1 I.C. SMITH SMITH was SAC of the Arkansas FBI from July 31, 1995 til his abrupt retirement July 24, 1998 [ http://www.idmedia.com/ic-smith-retires.htm ]. We learned from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that SMITH was ASAC of the Miami bureau in 1986 [ http://www.idmedia.com/smith-miami-asac.htm ]. (See: http://www.idmedia.com/enemy-no-1.htm) FBI Miami #2 WILLIAM TEMPLE Note: Mara [The Boys on the Tracks] Leveritt has not been able to verify that Arkansa's current ASAC WILLIAM TEMPLE and the WILLIAM TEMPLE in the following excerpt are the same person - but she has verified that he was in Miami in 1987. ================= Excerpt from: George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography --- by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin Chapter -XX- The Phony War on Drugs ................. In May or June of 1987, several months after Aronow had been killed, Mike Brittain, who owned a company called Aluminum Marine Products, located on "Thunderboat Alley" in the northern part of Miami (the same street where Aronow had worked), was approached by two FBI special agents, Joseph Usher and John Donovan, both of the Miami FBI field office. They were accompanied by a third FBI man, whom they presented as a member of George Bush's staff at the National Drug Task Force in Washington DC. The third agent, reportedly named WILLIAM TEMPLE, had, according to the other two, come to Miami on a special mission ordered by the Vice President of the United States. As Brittain told his story to Burdick, Special Agent TEMPLE "didn't ask about the murder or anything like that. All he wanted to know about was the merger." [fn 12] The merger in question was the assumption of control over Aronow's company, USA Racing, by the Kramers' Super Chief South, which meant that a key contract in the Bush "war on drugs" had been awarded to a company controlled by persons who would later be convicted for marijuana smuggling and money laundering. Many of the FBI questions focussed on this connection between Aronow and Kramer. Later, after Bush's victory in the 1988 presidential election, the FBI again questioned Brittain, and again the central issue was the Aronow-Kramer connection, plus additional questions of whether Brittain had divulged any of his knowledge of these matters to other persons. A possible conclusion was that a damage control operation in favor of Bush was in progress. --------------------- fn 12. Blue Thunder, pp. 326-327 end excerpt ---------------------- ========================== Excerpt from the manuscript of "The Boys On The Tracks" On November 29, ten days after the discovery of the Saline County evidence in Holly DuVall’s condominium, Linda and Larry drove to an office complex in west Little Rock to meet with agent Cournan. Also attending the meeting was Agent WILLIAM TEMPLE, the second-in-command at the Little Rock FBI office. Linda had had almost no contact with the Cournan since the anniversary of Kevin’s death when she reported finding the police toys at the cemetery. Finally, she had called to request a meeting to learn where the investigation stood. When the four had assembled in TEMPLE’s office, another man, who was introduced as a bureau lawyer, joined them. TEMPLE began, “I think I know why you’re here,” he said, “but why don’t you go ahead and tell me anyway.” To Linda, he seemed arrogant, almost flip. She replied, “We want to know the status of the case.” Referring to her notes, she read aloud Agent Finch’s comment in February 1994, that if she would just sit back and let the FBI do its job, the case would be solved by the end of the year. Looking up, she told the agents, “Well, it’s the end of 1995.” TEMPLE’s response almost knocked Linda out of her chair. He told her and Larry that the FBI had not been able to find any evidence pointing to murder. “There is no evidence,” he said. Linda stared at him in amazement. TEMPLE coolly added, “It might be time for you to consider that a crime was not committed.” Larry was quiet. Linda could feel herself begin to shake. For nearly two years, Cournan had been telling her and Jean Duffey that the investigation was going well; that, in fact, its focus was on law enforcement officers. Now, with Cournan at his side, TEMPLE was telling them this. Not only was the investigation over but she and Larry were hearing TEMPLE tell them the same thing they had been told, first by the Saline County Sheriff’s Office, then by Fahmy Malak: no crime had been committed. Eight years had passed since the exhumations and Dr. Burton’s autopsies and the grand jury that ruled their deaths murders--and now this. Linda sat in the FBI office scarcely able to breathe. She realized that when she cried it was usually because she was angry. She was furiously angry now--and she was crying--and she could not find a Kleenex. Why would the FBI spend nearly two years on a case for which not a shred of evidence existed? end excerpt ----------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAXIMIZE YOUR CARD, MINIMIZE YOUR RATE!
