More conflicts

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051101/ap_on_he_me/bush_flu


In Bush's plan to fight the bird flu that may or may not be a huge problem (hopefully not) he plans on spending $7.1 billion (with a b) of our taxpayer dollars to prevent it.

Now one of the people conveniently not mentioned who will profit from the is Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

Rumsfeld is a major shareholder in the company that was contracted to make the vaccine and will make a huge profit.

Isn't that a conflict of interest? Oh wait I guess Halliburton and all the conflicts aren't either.

Great party of ethics
