Good thread Z.

Even though Zaire/Congo is not officially included, we've had dirty fingers there as well.

Former Wall St. reporter Jonathan Kwitny wrote a nifty book some time back:
"Endless Enemies: the Making of an Unfriendly World." He had some good stuff on Zaire, and some of the nonsensical projects foisted on that nation with the help of large bribes to Mobutu and the self-interesed "help" of large American and multi-national corps. only too happy to sell $billion ice-makers to eskimos, or projects roughly that inane.

Not surprising that your thread and Kinzer would not attract a lot of attention -- after all, Kinzer is a hate-America first kind of guy.
