who was not a CIA agent
but had linked with the intelligence community when he married the
daughter of Ray Cline, of the CIA..."

"Stefen Halper and Jonathan Clarke Neoconservativism and the American
Future
(also at Alternet as Axis of Disorder) looks at the Neoconservativism
and see a movement larger and more powerful than a single affair.
From this view it is likely it will adjust and cleave this failure from
itself
and continue to dominate the dialogue of America's foreign
dealings."

Harvey McLean's partner in the Palmer National Bank was Stefan Halper.
Halper had served as George Bush's foreign policy director during the
1980 presidential primaries.
During the general election campaign, Halper was in charge of a highly
secretive operations center,
consisting of Halper and several ex- CIA operatives who kept
close tabs
on Jimmy Carter's foreign policy activities, particularly
Carter's attempt to free U.S. hostages in Iran.
Halper was later linked both to the "Debategate" scandal, in which it
is alleged
that Carter's briefing papers for his debates with Ronald Reagan were
stolen, and with
"The October Surprise," in which it is alleged that representatives of
the Reagan campaign
tried to thwartU.S. efforts to free the Iranian hostages until after
the presidential election.
Halper also set up a legal defense fund for
Oliver
North.
During the Iran-Contra Affair, Palmer National was the bank of record
for the National Endowment for the
Preservation of Liberty, a front group run by Oliver North and Carl
"Spitz" Channell, which was used to
send money and weapons to the contras.
Indian Springs Bank: Another bank with clear connections to the CIA was
the Indian Springs Bank of
Kansas City, Kansas (Bainerman, 1992: 279-280; Brewton, 1993: 197-200).
The fourth largest
stockholder in Indian Springs was Iranian expatriate Farhad Azima, who
was also the owner of an air charter
company called Global International Air. The Indian Springs bank had
made several unsecured loans to
Global International Air, totaling $600,000 in violation of the bank's
$349,00 borrower limit. In
1983 Global International filed for bankruptcy, and Indian Springs
followed suit in 1984.
The president of Indiana Springs was killed in 1983 in a car fire that
started
in the vehicle's back seat and was regarded by law enforcement
officials as of suspicious origins.
Global International Air was part of Oliver North's logistical network
which shipped arms for the U.S.
government on several occasions, including a shipment of 23 tons of TOW
missiles to Iran by Race Aviation,
another company owned by Azima. Pete Brewton, in his investigation of
the Indian Springs bank collapse was
told that FBI had not followed up on Indian Springs because the CIA
informed them that Azima
was "off limits" (Houston Post, February 8, 1990). Similarly the
assistant U.S. Attorney
handling the Indian Springs investigation was told to "back off from a
key figure in the collapse
because he had ties to the CIA."
Azima did indeed have ties to the CIA. His relationship with the agency
goes back to the late
1970s when he supplied air and logistical support to EATSCO (Egyptian
American Transport and Services
Corporation), a company owned by former CIA agents Thomas Clines,
Theodore Shackley, and Richard Secord.
EATSCO was prominently involved in the activities of former CIA agent
Edwin Wilson, who shipped arms
illegally to Libya. Azima was also closely tied to the Republican
party.
He had contributed $81,000 to the Reagan campaign.
Global International also had other unsavory connections.
In 1981, Global International made a payment to organized crime figure
Anthony Russo,
a convicted felon with a record that included conspiracy,
bribery, and prostitution charges.
Russo was the lawyer of Kansas City organized crime figures,
an employee of Indian Springs,
and a member of the board of Global International. Russo later
explained that the money
had been used to escort Liberian dictator Samuel Doe on a "goodwill
trip" to the U.S.
Global International's planes based in Miami were maintained by
Southern Air Transport,
another CIA proprietary company. According to Franck Van Geyso, an
employee of Global International,
pilots for Global International ferried arms into South and Central
America and returned
to Florida with drugs. Indian Springs also made a loan of $400,000 to
Morris Shenker,
owner of the Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas, former attorney for Jimmy Hoffa,
and close associate of Nick Civella and other Kansas City organized
crime figures.
At the time the loan to Shenker was made, he, Civella, and other Kansas
City mobsters
were under indictment for skimming $280,000 from Las Vegas' Tropicana
Casino.
