I'm sure you've all seen the pictures of Rumsfeld greeting President Saddam Hussein when he visited Iraq to lobby on behalf of Bechtel in order to get a couple of chemical plants built. Plants that were used in developing Iraq's chemical weapons. At the time Rummy was CEO of the company that developed NutraSweet which has its own questionable background. But now it comes out that he served on the board of a company that built the nuclear reactor in North Korea, which is producing the material to make their nuclear bombs. If I didn't know better, I'd say this guy was the devil incarnate, hopping around the globe to set up little deals that evenutually develop into flashpoints for trouble down the road. http://www.fortune.com/fortune/articles/0,15114,447429,00.html "What's even more surprising about Rumsfeld's silence is that he sat on the board of the company that won a $200 million contract to provide the design and key components for the reactors."
Damn that liberal media! Fortune??? Those guys are so freaking red, you could use 'em as stop signs. Why don't you link to Worker's Weekly World while you're at it? Yes, that was sarcasm.
to keep consistant, the reactors they are talking about in the article are the lightwater reactors agreed to in 1994. they have not been built and thus are not the source of plutonium that NK is currently using to build nuclear weapons. though Rumsfeld's disdain for the 1994 Agreed Framework would make you think that a company he was a part of wouldn't have negotiated with the NK government.
