what gets me is that some posters have such venom for even the appearance of impropriety concerning GE and Haliburton (which is, i think, well placed if the charges are true)... but play it low when foreign countries are caught in the same boat. if one instance is bad... surely an equivalent one should be condemned just as harshly. it's intellectually dishonest to condemn one, yet give another a pass on the grounds that it is just like the first.
a clear double standard.
