Saudis, Indians among Clinton foundation donors

WASHINGTON (AP) — The world opened its wallet for Bill Clinton. Governments, corporations and billionaires with their own interests in U.S. foreign policy gave the former president's charity millions of dollars, according to records he released Thursday.

The records were released to lay bare any financial entanglements that could affect Clinton's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, as the next secretary of state.

Saudi Arabia, Norway and other foreign governments gave at least $46 million, and donors with ties to India delivered millions more. Corporate donors included the Blackwater security firm, at risk of losing its lucrative government contract to protect U.S. diplomats in Iraq, and Web company Yahoo, involved in disputes over surrendering Internet information to Chinese authorities that led to the imprisonment of dissidents there.

Kinda difficult to imagine Hillary would NOT have conflicts of interest in view of her husband's successful soliciting.

The concept that blew me away was the statement on the Nightly News that future donations would be vetted by the State Department

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I'm sure that the question on everyone's mind is whether my reference is to Plato's Republic or Star Trek The Next Generation.

When I put that into BabelFish, I got, "Which house mother sounded the alarm?"


"Watchman, Watchman what of the night,
where is the enemy do you have him in sight."

Some of us do.
