		Much of the land has been sold to or spun off into new corporations, and the legacy of the nineteenth century railroad land grants is a remarkable and troubling concentration of land ownership and exploitation of natural resources which was never intended by Congress.
		The U.S. Board of Investigation and Research, created by the Transportation Act of 1940, concluded that the ending of land grant rail rate concessions should be a "two-way street," with the railroads returning their remaining lands to the government.
		The petition asked the Secretary to investigate the status of the land grant-based corporations and their noncompliance with the law, an investigation which the petitioners were convinced should result in forfeiture or sale of the remaining grant lands, and reimbursement to the public treasury of profits derived from illegal exploitation of the grant lands.

	Land Speculation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		You cannot be insensible that North Carolina in opening her land Office tolerated all the lands on the North side of the Tennessee as far up as the mouth of Holston’s river to be entered.
		At approximately the same time the legislature ceded to the new government the western district, with the stipulations that it guarantee all old land titles, protect the institution of slavery, and otherwise establish the new territory under the provisions of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.
		The land fraud conspiracy clearly justified Federalist leaders’ decision to discard their conceptualization of “nation building” and employ a restrained and confrontational policy on the Southwestern frontier.

	“WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE” VETERANS FOR PEACE STATEMENT ON IRAQ PRISONER ABUSE SCANDAL - Adopted by Board May ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Veterans For Peace believes that the recent allegations of abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib Prison, and other places, by U.S. military personnel should not come as a surprise to anyone who has been to war.
		We recall that such brutalities were commonplace in Korea and Vietnam, wars fought, as is Iraq, in the midst of a civilian populace, where combatants blend into and disappear among the civilian population.
		Operating in a foreign land, hostile to our presence, coupled with the administration’s demonstrated disdain for the restraints imposed by the Geneva Convention on prisoner treatment has led, inevitably, to these abuses.

		Kenneth Towery, a World War II veteran and former prisoner of war in Japan, was a relatively new managing editor of the Cuero Record in 1954.
		The two, he found, were paying the club's fl caretaker $10 for every veteran he could talk into applying to buy land under a state program run by the governor, attorney general and Texas land commissioner--the Veterans Land Board.
		The scandal ran deep, and speculation abounded that Attorney General John Ben Shepperd and Gov. Allan Shivers were involved.

		The 31-year-old "veteran" of a war that ended by 1979, who has delighted in brandishing his bow and arrow at the farm's terrified owners, looked crestfallen when he realised that he may not now be able to help himself to Cecil and Lucia Grimmer's farm after all.
		The veterans were demonstrating against the government because corrupt officials and their relatives had stolen millions of dollars from the veteran's pension fund, leaving it bankrupt.
		Thousands of veterans of the 1970s war against white minority rule in the former Rhodesia have invaded hundreds of the country's 4,500 commercial farms -- demanding land they say was stolen by the British from their forefathers in the 1890s.

		The SandL scandal was the worst in Texas, California, Colorado and Florida, and it is no accident that George Bush the Second and Jeb Bush have been governors of Texas and Florida, while Neil operated in Colorado and Reagan was the California governor.
		It was definitely a bi-partisan scandal, with both George Bush and Lloyd Bentsen keeping the scandal quiet until after the 1988 election, as they both were deeply involved in the scandal, as was their crony Walter Mischer and others.
		The Enron and related scandals (which may be just heating up as this postscript is being written in August 2002) are definitely accounting scandals, and for the same reason the SandL Scandal happened.

		Magruder, President of V.V.A.R., because of his long involvement with Vietnam veterans, was invited by Dr. Theodore Kennedy, Professor of Anthropology at the New York State University at Stony Brook, to help him put together the largest symposium on Vietnam ever assembled.
		There is, therefore, great fear abroad in the land that in another time of crisis, the university and the media, unless reformed, may again allow themselves to be manipulated by enemy propaganda or exploit the crisis to further ideological interests hostile to the national interest.
		One of the most significant consequences of the Vietnam conflict was its exposure of the breakdown that has occurred in intellectual and journalistic circles with regard to objectivity and truth.

		And he was also instrumental in uncovering various money-laundering operations - most notably the BCCI scandal (and remember BCCI was Pakistan outfit that was financing Al Queda) - something that the Bank of England should have been watching and didn't, to their shame.
		I'm not sure how instrumental he was in "uncomvering" these so much as he was on the Senate investigative panel and saw opportunities to use it to attack Republican administrations.
