<Among other things, we clearly need to bar former government personnel from dealing directly or indirectly with foreign countries.> So you would make it illegal for Bush Sr. to participate in a business that deals with the Saudi government? You would ban Kissinger from consulting directly or indirectly with a foreign government? Dick Cheney should not be allowed to "retire" and return to work at Haliburton? It is hard to imagine any world in which people, whose entire careers have brought them into close contact with people all over the world, would suddenly withdraw from any international contact. Would you expect the same of the military? Should somebody who retires from the military been barred from doing business with the military after leaving the service? What about somebody who works for government in some form of regulatory role -- should they be banned from taking jobs dealing with regulatory agencies?
