SILENT, BUT DEADLY :

Bush Calls for End to Loans of a Type He Once Received (JEFF GERTH and RICHARD W. STEVENSON, July 11, 2002, NY Times)
President Bush received two low-interest loans to buy stock from an oil company where he served as a board member in the late 1980's. He then benefited from the company's relaxation of the terms of one loan in 1989 as he was engaged in the most important business deal of his career.

On Tuesday, Mr. Bush called for a halt to those types of insider transactions, challenging corporate directors to "put an end to all company loans to corporate officers."
