Nope.  Bush is engaging in the sort of distortion of record which
is a normal part of American politics.  (Sometimes he is 
reporting Dukakis' record accurately, which is even more hazardous
for Dukakis).  A number of people on the Left are engaged in a
whispering campaign making grave criminal accusations against
Bush, even though there is no credible evidence to back up the
claims.

Even journalists on the Left here, like Alexander Cockburn, admit
the claims are so outrageous, and the evidence so flimsy, that
it doesn't warrant accusations.
