Death squads, oligarchs, drug connections, dictators, gave him 40% of the start up cash, later they continued to add money and over the years they and Romney made millions, perhaps billions together.

It is estimated that one of the families they counted as partners had their personal death squads kill 35,000 civilians in ElSalvador. Including the archbishop of ElSalvador Oscar Romero. Other Bain partners were into drug business, land theft, bullying peasants, basically stealing anything they want in Latin America. As late as 07 Rummy returned to Miami for fundraising among the latin american community there, tapping the relatives of the oligarchs involved with Bain.
Huff post also has the story. This is really depressing, I really didn't like Rummy, I thought he was a lying politician of the first order, and a tax cheat, a callous business man who would sell any one or anything down the river. But this news makes you wonder why in hell anyone will vote for him, (and they still will) why this kind of thing isn't illegal.
Google "bain link elsalvador" and you will get lots of articles, including the Catholic news site with articles about this. So far the mainstream won't touch it, as has been the case with some major events, mainstream is the last onboard.
Let Romney get in the White House and the GOP get the Senate and we will be at war with Iran and
