Not to go all blog meta on everyone, but Charles Johnson is not going to be happy about this:
United States officials said Saturday that U.S. funds would be used to pay for the damages caused by the strike. The power station was insured by a U.S. government agency, according to The Boston Globe… The power station in Gaza was built over a period of five years, at a cost of $150 million. In 1999, the Enron Corporation, along with Palestinian businessman Said Khoury, began working on the project. In 2000, Khoury’s Morganti Group purchased Enron’s share of the project.
UPDATE: Someone (us) hadn’t done their blog reading for the morning (give us a break – we’re in Zurich, and the weather is more than a little OK). LGF story on this humorous anecdote here.
