This story covers the infamous BCCI scandal of a the late 1980s. Senator Kerry led teh charge to break up the financial network that allowed Colombian drug lords to launder their money. This was a vey nasty affair with a lot of stonewalling from establishment politicians, many of whom had close ties to this bank. Give it a read. Sounds very relevant to today's war on terrorism. Thanks to
saint_monkey for this one. "
I found this to be absolutely fascinating.
