Ah, what a lovely dark web Thatcher's crowd wove.
I met Koch (twice as I recall) and also Gerald James, back in my bad old days. Or, at least I knew of Gerald back then, as we did business with him and Astra -- but only met him to talk about these matters some years later.
Koch, who was believed to have been the head of an assassination squad before he became a banker --- a natural career progression one might argue -- had direct access to Thatchler during those years. Which goes some way to explaining the power of the spook crowd during her period in office.
Not nearly enough is made of the fact that it was the US, UK and Europe who directly furnished Saddam with his inventory of WMD in the first place. This has become an inconvenient truth to be ignored by the politcal elite.
Therefore, using WMD as a reason for regime change (once the bin Laden blame-storming for 911 had be shown to be false), as Blair has recently done, is also just a "limited hangout" excuse.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
