thanks for detailing this. i saw the wikileaks docs but don't have any financial background so was left just wondering what was going on.
i have a few stupid questions.
1. Maybe Jan knows about this. Didn't UK do something like this with Trinidad and Tobago a few years back? They gave most of the West Indian colonies home rule but with a provision that the central banks were still controlled by Bank of England, didn't they?
2. Wasn't Bohringer written up by a lone reporter in Florida who found out he was shipping coke with official CIA sanction, I think he called his fictitious airlines Olympic Airlines or something like that, and the airlines had its own section of the airport that DEA and customs never checked, by design. Or maybe it wasn't Bohringer, but Atta was involved, and the owner was a foreigner, Scandinavian I thought.
3. Didn't it come out that MI5/6 had all parties in Northern Ireland peace talks thoroughly bugged, including Gerry Adam's automobile?
Thanks for any help, I'm having trouble remembering all of this.
