The author may be correct and has uncovered a significant and hitherto unknown set of SIS [British Intelligence] ops in the Middle East in support of US policy in the 1980s. --Robin Ramsay, co-founder and editor, Lobster magazine In the Eighties, Margaret Thatcher . . . attempted dramatically to rebuild British industry by rapidly expanding [UK] arms sales. In this regard, the British Conservative Party sold arms to Iraq, with help from Israel. And the Labour Party, with Robert Maxwell, sold arms to Iran. Geoff's friend, Hugh Simmonds, was one of a team who laundered the political kickbacks from such sales. --Ari Ben Menashe, author, Profits of War; former special intelligence advisor to Israeli Prime Minister
