...depositions sworn out by former troopers--whose credibility has been assailed since they first told their stories to the American Spectator in 1993--a common thread is the role played by Buddy Young, who ran Clinton's security operation in Arkansas and who was appointed to a plum federal post after Clinton became President. Larry Patterson, who had worked for Young, said Young once admitted to an unusual job description, saying that one of his tasks was to "keep a lid on some of these women.
