Terror's Lobbyist
[Washington Times] Frank J. Gaffney Jr. - This week, the Ohio Legislature will hold its second hearing on legislation to prevent investment by Ohio's public pension funds in companies that do business with the terrorism-sponsoring, nuclear weapons- and ballistic missile-building and genocide-threatening Islamic Republic of Iran. Unfortunately, the Iranian regime and the corporations partnering with it are abetted by a well-heeled Washington lobby. Iran is already in difficult economic straits; if fully brought to bear, the power of America's capital markets could mightily affect corporate behavior, undermining - and, hopefully, helping to bring down - the mullahocracy in Iran.
