CAPITAL BULLETINS

Mob Rule

What’s an electorally frustrated leftist to do? Bring a lawsuit, of course. Or so members of the Washington-based Christie Institute apparently decided when they filed suit against General John Singlaub, Richard Secord, Robert Owen, Adolfo Calero, and 25 others under the civil provisions of the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Christie lawyers allege that over a 25 year period Singlaub & Company conspired to commit various illegal acts, ranging from bombing Edén Pastora’s 1984 press conference at La Penca, Nicaragua, to violating the Boland Amendment. They seek $22 million in damages on behalf of Tony Avirgan, a reporter injured in the bombing.
