I think we are all agreed that the major mistake with AWB management was that they didnt hide their tracks well enough. As people who support the 'everyone does it' view, it is the natural of international business to lie and cheat and threaten to sell your product. As the 'giving money to a bad man' people are saying, we shouldnt be seen giving money to a bad guy like Saddam. I liked that comment that Saddam could have bought bullets to use on our troops...lol....great line. This is where secrecy is so important. Remember that it was the US that actually sold the 'weapons of mass destruction' to Saddam in the first place...lol.

Soooo....the simple lesson in international business. There is no such thing as morality only a need to maintain secrecy.
