'Blackout' imposed as George W. Bush speaks at Cayman Islands investment conference
http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2...ent-conference

"GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands -- Organizers of an investment conference in the Cayman Islands have been forbidden from disclosing any details about a speech by former President George W. Bush in the offshore financial haven, an event spokesman said Thursday.

The keynote speech by the former president was "totally closed to all journalists," and conference organizers were banned from discussing any aspect of it even in general terms, spokesman Dan Kneipp said.

"We've got a complete blackout on discussing the Bush details," Kneipp told The Associated Press.

The restrictions were imposed by the former president's staff, he said. Bush was scheduled to speak Thursday evening at The Ritz-Carlton on Grand Cayman Island.

"It's totally their decision," Kneipp said of the decision to close the event to the media.

According to the Cayman Alternative Investment Summit website, Bush was to "offer his thoughts on eight years in the Oval Office, the challenges facing our nation in the 21st century, the power of freedom, and the role of faith."

Sponsors of the conference include KPMG, a company that provides tax advisory services, and Deutsche Bank. It costs $4,000 to attend and other speakers include billionaire Richard Branson.

Cayman Islands officials are proud of the British territory's role as an offshore finance center. But members of the U.S. Congress and advocates for changes in tax laws have accused corporations and wealthy individuals of using so-called financial havens to improperly avoid taxes."

I wonder if former US Presidents have any restrictions on foreign travel after leaving office. I mean, if you think about it, Bush has a lot info on US intelligence matters and collection methods, etc....

i think they have security teams with them for life?
i could be wrong.
also when you are a big big shot, the country you visit will usually offer extra protection as well.

I once saw Richard Branson windsurfing on a small island in the pacific called Jeju.
i knew it was him because it looked like him and there were three local government army guys with machine guns watching him windsurf.

Back to the point in this thread...who cares....anyone can hold a meeting and demand silence about it. i would expect it actually.

They do have secret service for life, but it's a small team - not like rolling two hundred deep with the current President goes for a spin.

I would think anyone looking to get that kind of info would target someone else formerly in the whitehouse that doesn't have an entourage of security with them. Wouldn't someone like a Rumsfeld be easier to go after?

http://www.secretservice.gov/faq.shtml#faq9

In 1965, Congress authorized the Secret Service (Public Law 89-186) to protect a former president and his/her spouse during their lifetime, unless they decline protection. In 1997, Congress enacted legislation (Public Law 103-329) that limits Secret Service protection for former presidents to 10 years after leaving office. Under this new law, individuals who are in office before January 1, 1997, will continue to receive Secret Service protection for their lifetime. Individuals elected to office after that time will receive protection for 10 years after leaving office. Therefore, President Clinton will be the last president to receive lifetime protection.

As pointed out by others, you are wrong.

Paul Markham · 11-05-2012, 01:15 AM

It's done on a need to know basis and you guys don't need to know how people like Bush don't pay their fair share.

epitome · 11-05-2012, 01:20 AM

I can't stand Bush but he is a private citizen now and can do as he sees fit even if I do not necessarily agree with a blackout of an investment seminar in the Caymans.

Mitt is probably bummed he had to miss it.
