N. Korea … enjoy you membership. Lets salute Remsfeld and President Clinton.
How can you think that Rummy will manage Iraq war well? He was being a Board member with $190,000 annual earning claims that he didn’t know that his company sale Nuclear Technology to North Korea.
Does it make sence that Board of Director shouldn’t know about a high-profile contract. If so I would say that Rumsfeld salaries would have been dump to $19 Annually for not being aware of alteast company big trade in 1999-2000.

Rumsfeld sat on ABB's board from 1990 to 2001, earning $190,000 a year. ABB is a European engineering giant based in Zürich, Switzerland. In 2000 this company sold two light water nuclear reactors to North Korea, as part of President Bill Clinton's policy of persuading the North Korean regime to positively engage with the West.
The sale of the nuclear technology was a high-profile contract. ABB's then chief executive, Goran Lindahl, visited North Korea in November 1999 to announce ABB's "wide-ranging, long-term cooperation agreement" with the communist government. Mr. Rumsfeld's office said that the Secretary of Defense did not "recall it being brought before the board at any time". But ABB spokesman Bjorn Edlund told Fortune that "board members were informed about this project."
