That wouldn't have had anything to do with trying to cover up the 10 IOC members who received bribe money to get the Olympics in the first place, would it?

He was brought in after that happened. He actually saved our Olympic games believe it or not. Like him or hate him as a Presidential candidate, he did an excellent job for SLC. What looked like a sure disaster for our Olympics turned out to be a nice success. 101 million in profits after we had to secure additional funds for security(5 months post 9/11). Not too bad.

"congress spent one and a half times more on the SLC games than on all seven olympics held in the US since 1904 combined."

And there was a reason for this. 5 months post 9/11 and more security was obviously going to be a necessity. That still doesn't negate the fact that they walked away 101 million in the black.

Thank God!!!
