>TOM FLOCCO, WORLDNET DAILY: According to US Securities and Exchange
>Commission records, on four separate occasions Gov. George W. Bush
>disregarded federal statutes by failing to file insider stock trade reports
>on a timely basis, back-dating one trade by some four months. Moreover, one
>key trade just a few weeks before Iraq invaded Kuwait -- but reported some
>eight months late after the Gulf War was over -- netted Bush close to $1
>million in profit as he sold stock in Harken Energy, an oil company doing
>business in the Middle East wherein some of his father's largest
>contributors also maintained substantial positions. The SEC under President
>Bush carried out an incomplete investigation of the younger Bush's pre-Gulf
>War trade in 1991 after key presidential advisor George Jr. claimed that he
>filed a report, but that the SEC had most likely lost it.

>[TPR reported the basic facts of this case eight years ago, but Flocco's

>and should be one now. Another thorough analysis has just been released by
