Keeping a Curious Bush Secret

Exclusive: One of the strange mysteries from the Reagan-Bush era is where did George H.W. Bush go on one Sunday in October 1980 when some witnesses placed him meeting with Iranians in Paris. More than three decades later, Bush’s supposed alibi remains a state secret, Robert Parry reports.



By Robert Parry

More than three decades ago, on Oct. 19, 1980, then-Republican vice presidential candidate George H.W. Bush supposedly took an afternoon trip to visit a family friend in Washington, an alibi that could prove he could not have traveled secretly to Paris for treacherous meetings with Iranians.

But Bush’s White House in 1992 – and his presidential library now – have refused to release the name of this alibi witness or even the address where Bush allegedly went. The insistence on keeping this secret has just been reaffirmed by Debra Steidel Wall, deputy archivist of the United States.

So, rather than release what theoretically should be a fact the Bush Family would want out – proof that the elder George Bush did not engage in secret talks with Iranians behind President Jimmy Carter’s back regarding 52 Americans then being held hostage in Iran – the U.S. government is saying that only a costly federal court lawsuit can dislodge this historical detail.

Where were you October 19 1980 ?

In line at the welfare office ?

Bush was a failure. Hussein is a failure. But Bush has been out of office for almost three years. Who gives a fuck? Barry on the other hand is in serious trouble and your playground games aren't going to change that...

Simple: they were afraid of Reagan.

On the other hand, they laughed at Jimmy Carter.

seriously? You say they were afraid of reagan when he was not even president yet for a week? my my, that's some assumption there, don't ya think?

do you really buy in to that?

What difference does it make how long he was in office?

Reagan made it clear he intended to take military action against the Iranians if they didn't release the hostages. Carter made it clear that he was a spineless appeaser.

At that time the iranian revolution was still young. They only had a tenuous hold on the reins of power. If they thought the US would not do anything militarily thier best position was to hold the hostages for safety from outside intervention, and for propaganda purposes.

Once it was clear a new US adminstration was willing to go on the offensive if the hostages were not released, it became more advantegous to release them. Any severe military action by the US would only result in damage to Iran, and a threat to the mullahs hold on power. It was a better play to let the hostages go, thus negating any US reason for intervention.

You only want to debate what happened 30 years ago because your party is such an abysmal failure today. If Republicans were doing this you'd have a cow. You're the most shallow, partisan hack on the site. You're a hoot, keep up the good work!
