"Wasn't " Scooter" Libby the lawyer that got Mark Rich the pardon
by Clinton. Talk about weird."
...wow, talk about weird-than-weird, not to mention "strange
bedfellows". I didn't realize this - but:
Scotter also served as staff director for the Cox Commission, a
Clinton-era Congressionally mandated study group - which promoted
the idea of a future conflict with China, along the lines of
Bernard Lewis and Samuel Huntington's wild call for a "Clash of
Civilizations" war between the West on the one side, and the
Islamic world and China on the other.
But Lewis Libby's real claim to fame, prior to finally getting
caught, appears to his 18-year collaboration with Russian Mafiya
"godfather" Marc Rich. As an understudy to Washington power lawyer
Leonard Garment, Libby was the personal attorney for Rich from
1985, shortly after Rich fled the United States to avoid criminal
prosecution for tax evasion and "trading with the enemy"—for
illegal oil dealings with the Khomeini regime in Iran, while they
were holding American hostages. "
