This is an archived blog post from The Acorn.
The Washington Monthly features an article [warning: election pitch] that seeks to burnish John Kerry’s national security credentials by highlighting his investigation of BCCI (al Qaeda’s equally sinister sibling) two decades ago. The article credits him for ‘dismantling a key terrorist weapon’.
Kerry’s investigation did drive another nail into BCCI’s coffin, but America’s failure to take that investigation into its logical conclusion - and confront BCCI’s real parents - allowed the terrorists to literally open their accounts in other, more solvent and reputable banks.
