Amazing the little things you find while surfing
Im sure everyone has seen those little snippets on the news channels when they are talking about the new "bird flu" - its always a picture of a drug called Tamiflu made by Roche - which if ya do some checking - wont even fight the avian flu - just shortens the time you have it.

Well - a little detective work later - the patent for Tamiflu is held by a little company called Gilead Sciences, Inc. with intellectual property rights (which means they get a cut of sales)
An amazing fact develops if you look at who was their chairman of the board until 2000 - no other than Mr Don Rumsfield - secy of defense. And is still on the board of directors as well as owning a huge stock share percentage. I guess that explains why the US ordered 20 mill doses at $100 per recently - nice little 2 bill sale
