The transparency does not seem to extend to the really interesting issues, such as what is hidden in the catalyzers to come out over time, in the form of carcinogenic ceramic fibres (with the same effect as asbestos). So this "transparency" is just a PR trick to attract buyers who don't know the difference between reality and perception. > (why couldn't > they have built it in Newark NJ USA, or maybe even > on the site of the former World Trade Center in NYC USA???). Yes, that would be the right place for (yet) another PR trick... > As Koffi Anan said about Saddam Husein's Iraq, we need > more "transparency". In a way, Dubya did provide transparency: I think the term "regime change" says it all. The goal of US intervention in Iraq is _not_ regime _removal_ (having a democracy instead), but just regime _change_ -- i.e. replacing one regime with another regime.
