Just for fun we should start collecting news articles about how big businesses around the world are sticking their fingers into the political issues around the world. The thread could become quite long!
Here is a recent example from Canada. In a nutshell, the head of a major engineering and construction firm is alleged to be involved in corrupt business with Gadhafi and his family in Libya. There is also a consultant of this company in jail in Mexico for allegedly attempting to arrange the smuggling of Saadi Gadhafi and his family into Mexico. - http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/story/2 ... aissa.html
