THE WORLD OF INSPECTOR PEROT
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Aside from being a billionaire businessman and civic leader, it appears that Ross Perot has quite a history as an employer of gumshoes.
When things aren`t going his way, it seems, Perot turns investigators loose to gather dirt on those who stand in the way. His targets have included a Texas newspaper reporter, a Defense Department official and then-Vice President George Bush.
While there is nothing illegal in this practice-information-gathering is the stock-in-trade of journalists-Perot`s practice is more than a little reminiscent of the behavior of a former president who had a penchant for compiling enemies lists. It ought to give the American people pause to contemplate having such a figure in the White House, with access to the FBI, the CIA, the IRS.
The Washington Post reported on Sunday that in 1986, after Bush dropped his support for a Perot initiative on Americans missing in action in Vietnam, the billionaire financed a series of investigations of the vice president. The investigators looked at several Bush financial dealings and at his possible connection to an oil company that received a large federal tax deduction. Perot reportedly also tried to find evidence of links between Bush and the Iran-contra scandal.
Several news organizations have reported that Perot once tried to discredit a Defense Department official involved in the MIA issue by producing a photo of a semi-nude Vietnamese woman who had a picture of the official in her bedroom.
The publisher of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram has said that Perot suggested in a 1989 telephone call that he possessed compromising photos that involved a reporter and a city official. Publisher Richard Connor said Perot was upset with coverage of business dealings involving Perot`s son and that the call was clearly a pressure tactic and could have been taken as an implied threat . . . . Perot said he called only to complain about the accuracy of a story.
The Washington Post acknowledged that it picked up the leads on Bush provided by Perot and conducted its own investigation, but found no evidence of impropriety. Political candidates sometimes search through the dirty linen of the other side in the name of opposition research, and that is grimly accepted as part of the game. Most politicians understand, though, that if they try to gather information of a personal nature, they play with fire.
Perots aides complain that these stories are appearing because the White House wants to inject a ''fear'' factor about their hero into the minds of voters. But Perots own actions give voters plenty to ponder. Voters may well wonder if they really want a president who so obviously relishes playing with fire.
