US Sanctions
On another point, clearly the US sanctions are written in such a way that it is DESIRED that even fools can go around them! Isn't that the whole point, whilst on the surface the issuance at first would appear to be covering all the necessary legalities and protocols to satisfy international calls.
The US and others have been supplying all manner of things into Libya even since the sanctions were imposed. There are a number of Libyan Purchasing Agents registered overseas (in places like Malta) who procure "banned" components.
Anyway, on another subject, I suppose it's quite sad to hear that CEO will be departing the 9th floor on a more permanent basis. I sincerely hope that the new man - whomever he may be - is as tenacious as AAB is!!!!
