DJ Bush, At Summit, Signs Proclamation Against Corruption

(sorry – no link yet)



MONTERREY, Mexico (AP)--President George W. Bush acted Monday to bar people
involved in corruption from the U.S., a move that coincides with one of his
goals at a summit meeting of 34 Western Hemisphere nations.
Corruption of public institutions hampers U.S. efforts to promote security and
strengthen democratic institutions and free-market systems, Bush said in a
proclamation the White House released at the two-day summit, which began Monday.
He said the U.S. is acting to restrict international travel and prevent entry
into the country of people who have committed, participated in or benefited from
corruption conducted while performing public functions.
The restrictions apply, he said, when corruption has had a "serious adverse"
effect on the international activity of U.S. business, U.S. foreign aid goals,
the security of the U.S. against transnational crime and terrorism or the
stability of democratic nations and institutions.
"We think that fighting corruption is a good way to strengthen democracy,"
said Sean McCormack, a national security spokesman at the White House. "It's an
important part of our discussion down here."

just off the top of my head, I’d say, there could be a case made to prevent anyone on Air Force One from being re-admitted back to the States….I think the little twit just signed his own deportation papers…..it certainly would be a boost to “real” democracy.

and then he can show them the hand...

"Corruption of public institutions hampers U.S. efforts to promote security and strengthen democratic institutions and free-market systems" He will blame the democratically elected leader for stealing his counrties public utilities from the WTA and from Neil Bush. He will say, "How dare you keep your countries own resources> We stole them fare and square."
