I noticed that BCCI was also a target of Casolaro's investigations. from the Wikki Link: His death became controversial because his notes suggested he was in Martinsburg to meet a source about a story he called "the Octopus." This centered around a sprawling collaboration involving an international cabal, and primarily featuring a number of stories familiar to journalists who worked in and near Washington, D.C. in the 1980s—the Inslaw case, about a software manufacturer whose owner accused the Justice Department of stealing its work product; the October Surprise theory that during the Iran hostage crisis, Iran deliberately held back American hostages to help Ronald Reagan win the 1980 presidential election; the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International; and Iran-Contra.[2] I had an indirect link to the intelligence community when I lived in DC in the mid '70s. All entirely believable from what I know. For those who feel a need to learn more about the "inner workings" of our government - check out Wayne Madsen.
