| Rumsfeld wants to imitate the Cheney approach to getting rich…manufacture a threat and sell the solution. |
| Included in those plans [for a bird flu epidemic] are billions of dollars to buy Tamiflu, the most sought-after flu remedy in the world.
If you dig a little deeper you'll find that a California biotech company called Gilead owns the rights to Tamiflu. And guess who was Gilead's former chairman? Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who served as Gilead chairman from 1997 until he joined the Bush administration in 2001. Fortune magazine's senior writer Nelson Schwartz reports that Rumsfeld still owns between $5 million and $25 million in Gilead stock.
