That's interesting, and doesn't accord with what I had heard, so I'd be very interested in seeing it. > I think this discussion doesn't step on any > propriatary toes, but if it > does, just yell. > > Dan M. If we were discussing distribution of pharmaceuticals and a few other concepts it would, but not so far. But we've also moved to stuff that I just _don't know_ about. I was told information under Chatham House rules (sp?) which, if what you're saying is correct (and it certainly seems to be) was grossly wrong, which is _really_ irritating. That's not supposed to happen, that's the purpose of the rules. This is not an area of specialty for me, so I'm certainly open to being proven wrong, and so far I'm about 90% convinced that I was, in fact, wrong, and the Bush Administration has not at all followed through on a promised noble effort. A couple of questions would be: 1) Some NGOs did support ABC - but was this a general position? I was told no, but perhaps that was wrong. 2) How does the funding under Bush compare with previous levels (as oppposed to promised future levels)? Is he better than his predecessors, but not as good as he promised to be, or has he cut funding in an absolute sense? I was told that the first is true, but it's possible that the second is. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
