***The "hypocrite" part has to do with his professed caring for the poor, 
his profession of "non-greed" while behind the scenes, he grubs for money 
right and left. And, okay, I agree with you....he's pathological.

Ah, don't I wish. But all my friends in the intelligence business tell me 
that the drug money is moving through the Caymans, because they are 
apparently more favorable in their banking practices than Switzerland, and 
they are more convenient. And, according to other friends in the business, 
the "go-fast-boats" that we're tracking with Over-the-Horizon-Radar are 
moving from the N. coast of Venezuela up to the Caymans and into the Gulf 
states. It's interesting, but I don't know why our government bothers. Take 
care. I'll get back to you.

Affectionately,
