The same people are gonna run this country. I stand before you today. You gotta know who I am. I'm an indicted felon because part of that phone call in Thailand said, "Bo, if you don't erase and forget, if you don't come to the apartment (that was a safehouse in Washington, DC), you're gonna be charged with 15 years and your going to serve as a felon and we're going to bring up aggravated charges and hostile witnesses." That's not my kind of language. I said, "Friend, that's an insult to you, me and two hundred years of constitutional government." He said, "Bo, don't give me that. Bring everything you've got to the apartment." I said, "Who's going to be there, Joe?" And he said, "You know me better than that, Bo. It will just be me and Tom Harvey." I said, "OK, I'll bring this stuff dear citizen. I'll show it to you then you tell me to erase and forget." When I got to LA with the tapes he said, "Bo, don't come." He was that much of a friend. He said, "Don't come. Hide those tapes. Everybody's laying for you." He said, "But please destroy and forget. That's all the state department wants you to do because otherwise you're going to jail as a felon." You know what they charged me with? They did charge me. Misuse of a passport. Now that is a weeny charge for somebody thats been in clandestine warfare for more than 30 years. That throws me in league with Jane Fonda. She was cavorting with the enemy and misusing her passport. Ollie North and Robert McValium went to Iran on Irish passports so they could do an illegal arms deal, but nobody has charged them. Thats because they're cooperating. Well, I'm not worried about that. The US attorney doesn't know how hard to take it because I said, "I don't deny I misused a passport. I misused it many times. Every time in pursuit of US prisoners of war." You dear citizen, see if you would erase and go back to sleep and forget. I don't think that you will. In my defense I got a lawyer, he's the former US attorney for Nevada. He took my case for free other than all the expenses it cost to bring in witnesses. Were going to use this court as a forum for prisoners of war and for government in drug dealing because you know you can't sue the government, but when the government jumps on you now you can turn it around on them. Thats exactly what were doing. I got a plea the other day saying, "Bo, just go ahead and cop a plea it'll be a misdemeanor." No way Jose, were going all the way with this one. (Narrator) The American Warrior has traveled a long road from the jungles of Vietnam to the Pentagon to a hostile federal courtroom in Las Vegas, but the commitment to God, country, honor and decency have never wavered. It would be far easier to walk away from this battle, but to do so would be impossible for this soldier. Interestingly enough, the US attorney prosecuting this case against a respected dissenting war hero is himself the former road manager for a well-known 1960's antiwar rock group. The irony is not lost on Las Vegans, but the issues behind the trial demand nationwide attention. One can only wonder what the charges will be against Oliver North. The Christic Institue, on the other hand, is facing an uphill battle in their current appeal of Judge King's dismissal of their racketeering lawsuit against The Enterprise last June in Miami. As Father Bill Davis, their chief investigator explains: (cut to Fr. Bill Davis from The Christic Institute) This is by far the most important case we've ever done. I think for the kinds of forces that we're up against, as well as for the broader public policy implications. If this crowd can get away with what they have been getting away with: the arms dealing, the drug dealing, the assasination programs and sell it under the guise of some kind of blind anti-communism, having had the revelations that we've had: the Hasenfus flight, the Iran arms deal. If they still get away with it then I think democracy, at least in this country, is in very very serious condition. I don't think it will survive. We're either going to win against these forces, this time or I am not optimistic about the survival of democracy in this country. I think it's that serious. (Narrator) The seriousness of Gritz's discoveries during his first mission to the Golden Triangle, however was brought home immediately after his return. Scott Weekly, his Operation Lazarus team member and veteran of several POW recovery missions, was arrested and charged with a federal violation resulting from the Afghan training program he helped Gritz conduct. Weekly was a classmate of Oliver North's at Annapolis and has a PhD in physics. After numerous forays into hostile enemy territory neither he nor Gritz were prepared for the treachery that awaited them at home. (Bo filmed in Thailand or thereabouts) The ambassador level person for the US government in charge of narcotics control made a statement immediately following the release of this tape to the White House that the United States would never a agree to talk with General Khun Sa about drug control because he was such a black-hearted criminal. I believe that we can show through facts that have already been established by the US Justice Department and on-going investigations that there are people currently who saw that tape in the US government that all that they could to stop this interview right here for fear they would be exposed. Even to the point where they arrested Scott Weekly for a minor technicality of transporting explosives illegally on a commercial airliner. Very briefly we were training a couple of Afghan freedom fighters through the knowledge and request of the US state department and other official agencies. The explosives were procurred for us from Fort Sill, Oklahoma and were naturally transported, because we were using them at a remote desert base, by aircraft. There was no danger to the civilian aircraft. The explosives were C4, plastic, frontline safe. You could shoot them with a machine gun and they wouldn't go off. There were no detonating devices with us. Federal agents told Scott when he was taken into custody that it wasn't a technicality and that the real target was me. They were under pressure by the US attorney's office to find out whether or not I was in kahoots with North and Poindexter since I had traveled to Latin America and to the Middle East in pursuit of various government associated projects. The fact is and the truth is that I've had nothing to do with North and Poindexter or any illegal activities either in South America or the Middle East. Now the truth is that I believe that elements in the US government are afraid that they will be exposed for their illegal activities and drug trafficking. Through that exposure that this will cease and they will lose their power.
