Of course, I told you all about these issues ages ago, but I draw your attention to the confirmation in re the unstable political risk environment, the degree to which people more familiar with the region / environment can profit over outsiders, and the idiotic pimping that the DoC fool does in re his having walked around Baghdad - athough I suppose bec. of the Berg angle he interjects with the bit about the "security consultant." A polite term for body guards.
