Kerik said imports would invite bio terror attachs
I ama sssooooooooo glad that he withdrew his name for Homeland Security!!!!

-The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the drug industry association that opposes importation of medicine from Canada and elsewhere. Kerik visited ports, reviewed prescription drug Internet sites and helped prepare a report for the industry on dangers of importation. He told a government task force in April that allowing imports could invite terrorists to purchase drugs legally and use them in a biological attack

New Homeland Security Boss Made Millions on Insider Deal
By LARRY MARGASAK
Dec 9, 2004, 07:27




Bernard Kerik, President Bush's choice to run the Homeland Security Department, made $6.2 million by exercising stock options he received from a company that sold stun guns to the department - and seeks more business with it.
Taser International was one of many companies that received consulting advice from Kerik after he left his job as New York City police commissioner in 2001, when he was earning $150,500 a year. Kerik remains on Taser's board of directors, although the company and the White House said he planned to sever the relationship.

Partnering with former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and also operating independently, Kerik has had business arrangements with manufacturers of prescription drugs, computer software and bulletproof materials, as well as companies selling nuclear power, telephone service, insurance and security advice for Americans working abroad.

3. What a Sell Out
He would have saved us (possibly) from external attack and let the internal corporatists eat our lunch. Bush, four more years of hell.

4. Well, I'm glad this son of a bitch
withdrew his name from consideration for the job. That's what he gets for hiring an illegal alien for a nanny and stiffing the government on taxes.

This bunch is filthy dirty. They don't care how many people in this country they kill as long as drug company profits from price gouging are preserved.
