I'd never heard of this Sutherland guy so I did some quick background; among many other things this guy is:
- International head of Goldman Sachs
- Former Chairman of BP Oil
- Honorary Chairman of the Trilateral Commission
- Chairman of the London School of Economics
- Former Attorney General of Ireland
- Chairman of the Global Policy Inst. (Soros-backed)
- Advisory Board of Eli Lilly and Allianz
- Director of GATT and the WTO, 1993-1995
This guy is a major international player.
