Perle got China rockets, for a price! <font color=green> Richard Perle: Loral's Chinese Communist Gofer by STEPHEN LABATON WASHINGTON, March 28 — While he led an influential Pentagon advisory board, Richard N. Perle advised a major American satellite maker, Loral Space and Communications, as it faced government accusations that it improperly transferred rocket technology to China, administration officials said today. Officials at the State Department said that the senior official considering how to resolve the rocket matter, Assistant Secretary Lincoln P. Bloomfield Jr., was contacted by Mr. Perle once or twice in the second half of 2001 on behalf of the company. At the time, Mr. Bloomfield, who heads the State Department's bureau of political-military affairs, and other officials were investigating accusations that Loral turned over expertise that significantly improved the reliability of China's nuclear missiles. "We have an office, our political-military office, led by Assistant Secretary Linc Bloomfield, who did receive queries from Mr. Perle," Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said in response to a question during an interview today. </font>

Steve Clinton & Dan Rather were in town yesterday taping for an upcoming episode of 60 minutes (June 20, I think). Should be a real liberal love fest. I came up to LR Friday to see Clapton at Alltel. First time I had noticed where that damned library actually ended up. Hell, I thought it was going to be on the other side of the river! Looked over there and saw it & thought, "WTF is that?". Can't wait to see the Lewinsky display in there! (Actually, the structure looked pretty nice. These Lefties really know how to live <g>)
