Le conseiller de la politique étrangère de McCain a-t-il profité de la guerre de l'Irak ?
Par Mark Benjamin | Aussi récemment que l'année dernière, la politique étrangère aînée de John McCain et le conseiller de sécurité nationale, un neoconservative qui a joué un principal rôle dans la poussée pour les États-Unis l'invasion de l'Irak, essayait d'employer son rôle en favorisant la guerre de l'Irak pour faire l'argent outre de l'huile irakienne. Dans une note confidentielle, une compagnie a appelé l'énergie du World Strategic, pour laquelle l'aide supérieur Scheunemann excité de McCain était un conseiller exécutif, dite les investisseurs éventuels que Scheunemann pourrait aider les contrats stratégiques de pétrole de victoire d'énergie du monde en Irak parce qu'il bien-a été relié dans la communauté irakienne d'exil et avait été « un joueur principal » en passant les États-Unis impliqué en Irak.

Payne recently stepped down from a U.S. government advisory role after a report in the Sunday Times of London showed that Payne, also a lobbyist, had offered a foreign official meetings with top Bush administration officials in exchange for a $250,000 donation to Bush’s presidential library. The paper reported that Payne had also boasted to a foreign official that Scheunemann had been “working for me on my payroll for five of the last eight years.”
The McCain campaign did not return e-mails seeking comment on the document. Payne also did not return a similar call.
