A couple of years ago The American Spectator ran an article about Cohen's Asian connections. Seems like it had something to do with either Viet Nam or Indonesia, but I vaguely remember that the Chinese were involved as well.

Well that would somewhere fall into line with this: This story does not stop there. Bidding for the remains of Global Crossing are two Asian firms, one from Singapore called Telemedia (SST) and the other based in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) known as Hutchison Whampoa. The later is owned largely by Chairman Li Ka-Shing who has close ties to the Chinese ruling inner circle. Whampoa owns the Panama Canal operations contract and is a bidder for Enrons Wessex Water utility in Britain.

Wild Bill isn't the only Toon appointee with Global Crossing ties. Former Ambassador to Singapore under Toon Steven Green (1997- Mar. 2001) announced he was joining Asia Global Crossing's board of directors a week after he left his job as ambassador. Nice work if you can get it, hmmmm?

Yes, MM. And IIRC he was in China a couple of weeks
before one of BillyJeff's trips, under what almost amounted to a press blackout.
The bum is the former mayor of Bangor, my town. They love him here. (slowly shaking head)
