Rumsfield was Reagan's Envoy to Saddam when Reaganites were busy arming Saddam with as many weapons as he wanted, including chemical weapons which were used the very week Rumsfield met in Baghdad. counterpunch.org Therefore his main job was dealing arms to Saddam, though he never worked for a specific arms maker. Rumsfield also has a long history of pushing SDI, the biggest waste of money in US history. Whether he personally pocketed revenues from SDI spending I don't know.

GOP Senator George Allen's Sister Documents Her Brother's Bully Tactics: "He Saw Dentistry As A Perfect Profession - Getting Paid To Make People Suffer"... Huffington Post \| Posted August 16, 2006 Senator George Allen’s racial remark to a 20 year old Indian man last week, has re-highlighted accusations that the Senator is a bully and a bigot. Senator Allen’s sister, Jennifer Allen, documents many cases of her brother’s bullying in her book Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter. Read the excerpts below: Explaining why she is scared of heights, Ms. Allen writes that “Ever since my brother George held me over the railing at Niagara Falls, I’ve had a fear of heights.” (Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter, page 43) Referring to George’s relationship with one of her boyfriends: “My brother George welcomed him by slamming a pool cue against his head.” (Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter, page 178) Referring to George’s early leadership skills, Jennifer wrote: “We all obeyed George. If we didn't, we knew he would kill us. Once, when Bruce refused to go to bed, George hurled him through a sliding glass door. Another time, when Gregory refused to go to bed, George tackled him and broke his collarbone. Another time, when I refused to go to bed, George dragged me up the stairs by my hair.” Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter, page 22.
