> It goes both ways. Perle is not accused of shifting policy. He is accused of conflict of interest in case of a particular company. I was debating policy. Even so, this is a relatively new phenomena and I am not happy about it going either way. I think eventually we'll be as much under threat from it being used against America as it is being abused to support wrong policies by America. > You can't say "US interests" alone because that's simply not the case. Frankly I have never believed it was in US interests. I have always believed it was in the interests of few fat cats who want to own the world. ST

CB, it doesn't change your point that USA interests in Iraq represent global interests in Iraq, but lest somebody be interested in the detail for some odd reason, I do not own any Global Crossing interests of any sort [did, but sold a few weeks later when realizing my mistake]. Your point is completely true in regard to QUALCOMM though, where I have a vital interest. QUALCOMM is getting support from the USA in that CDMA is being promoted in Iraq. Correctly in my opinion, and I was promoting CDMA for years before I had any financial interest, so it's not just for my financial interest that I think CDMA in Iraq is a good idea. I also think Globalstar in Iraq would be an excellent idea and I have no financial interest in Globalstar LP or its debt, other than via QUALCOMM. I am, since February, a non-executive director of Globalstar Australia Proprietary Limited, which owns 3 gateways in Oz, but have no shareholding. Mqurice
