-Caveat Lector-
As usual, Quig has twisted the name of one of his key people in this post.
His own website shows the name as John Dowd.
http://www.dcia.com/mission1.htm
8/7/97 - DOWD: ROUTINE BLUNDERS DON'T EQUAL CRIMINAL ACTS: In a melodramatic
closing argument that brought his client to tears, defense attorney John
Dowd accused federal prosecutors of distorting Gov. Fife Symington's routine
blunders in their "desperate'' effort to convict an honest man. Dowd,
sounding like a country preacher, sometimes bellowed and sometimes whispered
to jurors to conjure sympathy for a man Dowd asserted had been seriously
wronged - first by a plunging real-estate market, then by government
investigators who wanted to exploit his financial downfall. By the end of
his 4 1/2-hour appeal to jurors, Dowd choked with emotion as he said in a
trailing voice: "The stakes here are very high. Mr. Symington is not guilty
of any of these charges.'' Minutes after Dowd's arguments ended, prosecutor
David Schindler began his own final discussion with the jury in a rebuttal
to Dowd's closing that will continue this morning.

Bin Laden linked to Vernon Jordan?

USA Today has an article about Saudi businesmen
laundering money through a Saudi and NY/London Bank to
Osama Bin Laden, the master terrorist.
An excerpt:
"The businessmen, who are worth more than $5 billion,
are paying bin Laden "protection money" to stave off
attacks on their businesses in Saudi Arabia,
intelligence officials said. Bin Laden, whose family
runs the largest Saudi construction firm, has called
for the overthrow of the Saudi government.
The money transfers were discovered in April after the
royal family ordered an audit of NCB and its founder
and former chairman, Khalid bin Mahfouz, U.S. officials
say. Mahfouz is now under "house arrest" at a military
hospital in the Saudi city of Taif, intelligence
officials said.
His successor, Mohammad Hussein Al-Amoudi, also heads
the Capitol Trust Bank in New York and London, which
U.S. and British officials are investigating for
allegedly transferring money to bin Laden. Amoudi's
Washington lawyer, Vernon Jordan, could not be reached
for comment."
Yep, Vernon Jordan is the lawyer for Bin Laden's Banker.
In addition, his law firm Akin Gump has been hired by
the owner of the Sudanese Pharmecutical Plant that
was bombed last summer, because it was supposedly tied
to Bin Laden.
***
Akin Gump is the law firm that is also owned by ADM (Archer Daniels Midland)
according to a Fortune magazine article the attorney in charge at Akin, Gump
stated that his firm was virtually owned by ADM which works both sides of
the political fence.

If you could post a link to this "Fortune" article, or at least quote some
of the relevant language, I would be very grateful, and so no doubt would
other FReepers.

The quote concerning Akin, Gump was from Fortune magazine and may have been
as far back as 1995,1996, or 1997. It may have been a Fortune article about
ADM and the price fixing scams. At the end of this article, there may have
been a separate one page article concerning Akin, Gumps ties to ADM and if I
remember correctly there was a photo of the head attorney at Akin, Gump with
an overcoat on and possibly the statement that "ADM owns Akin Gump" either
under the photo are in the article, and then the attorney went on to
elaborate about the relationship between Akin, Gump and ADM.
The reason I was interested in the article, an attorney at Akin Gump, a John
Dowd had expressed a casual interest in taking a lawsuit I was involved in
at the time on a contingency basis.
In fact it may have even been Dowd that had represented ADM and that may
have impressed me about his expertise.
After several months of providing Akin Gump with documentary evidence
pertaining to my lawsuit, Akin Gump decided not to take my case.
The reason I find this post so interesting is that now I think Akin,Gump may
have just been on a fishing expedition for the Democratic party, as
ultimately I would discover (I am an inventor) that alleged members of the
most powerful Maryland white collar organized crime syndicate (Democrats)
had targeted me and a potentially valuable patent and intellectual property
I had invented and were engaged in a multitude of fraudulent schemes to
wrest from me this technology.

Report: bin Laden Getting Support
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -- Businessmen in Saudi Arabia are continuing to
transfer tens of millions of dollars to bank accounts linked to accused
terrorist Osama bin Laden, USA Today in its editions Friday quotes U.S.
intelligence officials as saying.
A Saudi government audit obtained by U.S. intelligence shows that five top
Saudi Arabian businessmen ordered the National Commercial Bank, the
kingdom's largest, to transfer personal funds and $3 million from a Saudi
pension fund to New York and London banks, the newspaper said.
It said the money was deposited into accounts of Islamic charities,
including Islamic Relief and Blessed Relief, that serve as fronts for bin
Laden.
Bin Laden, whose family runs the largest construction company in Saudi
Arabia, has called for the overthrow of the Saudi government. USA Today
quoted the further unidentified U.S. intelligence officials as saying the
payments are ``protection money'' aimed at staving off attacks on the
businessmen's properties.
The money transfers were discovered in August after the Saudi royal family
ordered an audit of the National Commercial Bank and its founder and former
chairman, Khalid bin Mahfouz, the U.S. officials said.
Mahfouz is now under house arrest in the Saudi city of Taif. His successor,
Mohammad Hussein Al-Amoudi, also heads the Capitol Trust Bank in New York
and London, which is being investigated by U.S. and British officials for
allegedly transferring money to bin Laden, USA Today said.
The newspaper said Amoudi's Washington attorney, Vernon Jordan, who also is
a confidant of President Clinton, could not be reached for comment.
Bin Laden has been indicted by a U.S. grand jury on charges of ordering the
1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224
people. Bin Laden, believed to be living in Afghanistan, has denied the
charges.
