Talk:Roger Tamraz/Comments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The article on Roger Tamraz is distorted and untrue. It is impossible to prove negatives -- he did not bribe the President of Turkmenistan, he doesn't speak Turkish, he has the same accent everyone has who grows up in Egypt and speaks English, French and Arabic from birth, he hasn't spent untold profits on all manner of bribes. The more interesting story would be how and why a Middle Eastern businessman was kidnapped and tortured by the predecessors of Lebanese Hezbollah. (see Christian Science Monitor March 1989) How a recent Harvard Business School graduate working for Kidder Peabody in Beirut rescued a banking system. (NYTimes 1976) All of Mr. Tamraz's projects have recieved coverage in respectable news publications. The Senate report quoted in the Wikipedia article is a Republican rebuttal to a democratic report. Readers should be aware that these reports are higly subjective and used for political purposes - in this case a forum to defame Bill Clinton. At least read to Democratic report to see the other side. The only way for this article to make sense is to have the whole thing re-written.
