Line 68:
Line 68: − − ==Iran Contra== − Ths total lack of security at the [[Mena airport]] and intelligence professionalism was why the [[CIA]] wanted out of [[Arkansas]]. The final loose end that needed to be tied up was the investigation of Gov. [[Bill Clinton]]'s half-brother, Roger and his friends. Barr told Bill Clinton: − {{quotebox|We are all in this together and let's not forget that the vice-president [George H.W. Bush] and Mr. Casey want this operation to be a success. Mr. Seal carried with him a falsely created, high-level profile of a drug runner. All of the cops in the country were investigating a drug operation. They put the police into a position where we could control them. We fed them what we wanted to feed them, when we wanted to feed them. Seal was a diversion. It was perfect until your brother started free enterprising and now we have to shut it down.}} − It was the arrests of Roger Clinton and [[Dan Lasater]] - not the Hasenfus shoot-down months later - that threatened to expose the operation and prompted the CIA to end it. Barr said of the money investigation, − {{quotebox|[[Edwin Meese|Mr. Meese]] is intervening right now and there will be no money investigation. The United States Attorney's Office in Little Rock is 'getting religion' as we speak.}} − Gov. Clinton's reputation as a cad did not go unnoticed by the CIA. Barr ended the meeting with words of encouragement. − {{quotebox|Bill, you are Mr. Casey's fair-haired boy ... You and your state have been our greatest asset. Mr. Casey wanted me to pass on to you that unless you ****up and do something [[stupid]], you're No. 1 on the short list for a shot at the job that you've always wanted. You and guys like you are the fathers of the new [[government]]. We are the new covenant.<ref>Terry Reed & John Cummings, [https://books.google.com/books?id=zRlXGVfUJPsC&pg=PA542&lpg=PA542&dq=barr+Southern+Air+Transport+iran+Contra&source=bl&ots=L14nVB5CC5&sig=bkZMdqW45Zc75WhInkMiZCpC96s&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiu_oPss4_fAhUo1oMKHZXxDjE4ChDoATAAegQIBxAB#v=onepage&q=covenant%20New&f=false ''Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA''], Shapolsky Publishers, 1994</ref>}}
