THE VINCENT FOSTER MYSTERY DEEPENS CIA IN CONTROL OF THE INTERNET? or On 20th July 1993, the body of White House staffer and friend of the Clintons, Vincent Foster, was* found in a park near Washington. Among his duties, Foster, a lawyer, handled the Clintons' per- sonal financial affairs including details of property dealings in the Whitewater development in Arkansas, In July 1994, Mr Robert Fiske, the special prosecutor investigating Whitewater, concluded that Foster ) committed suicide. : This finding put fuel on the fires of every conspiracy theorist for miles around. Among the unanswered ques- tions: * Investigators found no spent bullet. * There was no soil or grass on the shoes (indicating that the body had been carried). * There was virtually no blood or brain matter near the body. * The alleged suicide gun did not belong to Foster. ¢ There were powder burns on both hands, indicating that neither hand was on the grip when fired. * The FBI found carpet fibre all over Foster's clothing and underwear, indicating that the body may have come into contact with one or more carpets before delivery to the park. ¢ Seven independent experts say the fir- ing position is "inconsistent" with suicide. Overall, the Fiske Report was so full of errors and inconsistencies that another probe, the Starr Investigation, was launched. However, the Starr Investigation put the same FBI agents in charge of reviewing their own work! More recently, however, James Norman, Senior Editor of Forbes magazine, claims to have evidence that Vince Foster was identified by the CIA as an Israeli Mossad agent just before his death. Norman claims that CIA operatives dis- covered Foster was collecting money from a Swiss bank account that was being pro- vided for him by the Mossad. It is known * that Foster made several unexplained quick trips to Switzerland prior to his death— trips about which his wife knew nothing.
