In a recent Washington Post column, Robert Novak assured his readers that Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is a reporter of noteworthy "accuracy" and " industry" who is "no conspiracy theory lunatic." Well, let's see. On page 349 of his new book, The Secret Life of Bill Clinton, Evans-Pritchard recycles the following story: In the mid-1980s, Bill Clinton and Oliver North held a secret meeting at an "ammunition storage bunker" where a CIA handler chewed them out for letting the drug running at Mena, Arkansas get out of hand. This was shortly after, according to Evans-Pritchard, Medellin cartel drug pilot Barry Seal showed up in Little Rock and arranged for another secret meeting at Charlie Trie's Chinese restaurant where he plotted a " deniable" airlift of weapons to the Nicaraguan contras. Chapters Eighteen and Nineteen of Evans-Pritchard's book are devoted to Clinton's ties to the " Dixie Mafia" -- a purportedly murderous and all-powerful criminal enterprise that has a "deep reach into the U.S. federal government." Chapters Eight through Fifteen make the case for the murder of Vince Foster -- a crime so monstrous and devious that it "throws into doubt the durability of the republic."
....and on and on it goes.
Good thing that AEP has moved back to Europe where he continues his lifelong dedication to making money out of gullible people.
