John right until I read to the following: " Several days after the meeting with Sanders, the suit contends that Sanders withdrew his support for what the complaint describes as the biggest business development deal AMD had going at the time. Maghribi was overseeing the undisclosed deal, which was then effectively scratched, according to the suit. From there, the suit contends that Maghribi, despite his status as one of AMD's leaders, was given ``absurd'' and ``insulting'' tasks that forced him to quit. The suit also contends that through this time period, Ruiz and others directed ``demeaning'' jokes about Arab nationals to both Maghribi and his wife" I thought possibly there might be a merit to a claim. But that Sanders cancelled the "the biggest business development deal" based on that? Would not it be easier to fire or move Maghribi to other place? And what is it about "Ruiz and others"? It becomes less believable when it spreads on the rest of the management, racist company? Give me a break...... -Albert
