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. (edit)

To the individual who wrote a within-article critique of the article, please post on discussion board. In reponse to your comments, the Christian Science Monitor article you're referencing (Nov 9, 1989) does ascertain Roger was kidnapped. It does NOT however say what he did with his Middle-Eastern shares besides mention he "lost many of his financial acquisitions hereafter." As I was trading on the BSE that day, I happen to know he sold them at 39.3. Granted, he may have had to share the profits with the same criminal elements who kidnapped him and threatened his life at Hamra.

Roger tamraz is a federal fugitive, does anyone know where he is.
