Surprised the NYT is covering this at all. I thought the hyper rich wanted to remain anonymous. Oh, oops, except for Warren E. Buffett, George Soros and Ted Turner, once again, no one actually knows who they are. NYT is just stoking the fire, but not really anything more than that. No where to put the response except Bush. But it's global and the hyper rich are worldwide, not US nationals. They kept all the sheeple busy with 'Vote for John Kerry! For godssake don't let Nader in there!' while they made off with the world's paychecks.The G8 - Why Be Angry?

They promised us a 'Great Europe' without borders, and without passports: the reality is that we now in the Netherlands live in an 'Apartheid state', where we like earlier in South Africa can get fined and even arrested when we leave our house without an ID card...Mc Libel to be shown on BBC2, Sunday 5th of june,
