Where's the controversy? As the CEO of a trans-national corporation, she should have said terrorists should be hunted down and shot? The comments that she's concerned about the safety of HP Middle-Eastern employees means she's pro-Islamofascist? I see a general business speech that mostly all corporations gave shortly after 9/11. Fail.

Over the past dozen years, Hewlett-Packard has sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of printers and other products to Iran through a Middle East distributor, sidestepping a U.S. ban on trade with the country.

The policy was in place prior to Carly becoming the HP CEO.

In 1997, two years after President Clinton banned trade with Iran, HP struck a partnership with a newly formed company in Dubai to sell its products in the Middle East. At the time, the company, called Redington Gulf, had only three employees and its sole purpose was to "sell HP supplies to the Iran market," says a history on Redington Gulf's website and Rajesh Chandragiri, the administrative manager in Redington Gulf's Dubai office.

Carly became CEO in 1999.

Lots of businesses worked with Jesse Jackson and helped his organization. Are you going to boycott Coca-Cola, Procter and Gamble, etc.? Key difference: She was the CEO of a corporation, not a public official steering taxpayer dollars to him. Will she advance his interests as a Senator? No.
