Conflict of Interest

Foreign Policy’s website has this story: “David M. Crane, the former U.N. war crimes prosecutor for the Special Court in Sierra Leone, and his chief investigator, Alan A. White, indicted former Liberian warlord and president Charles Taylor in 2003. Three months ago, their new firm CW Group International offered to sell legal services to the murderous military junta in Guinea … The company’s proposal included a Power Point presentation on how to convert a repressive military force into a defender of the people that obeys the laws of armed conflict. The proposal was ditched after Guinea’s accused war criminal and junta leader, Moussa Dadis Camara, was shot in an assassination attempt carried out by one of his own officers.”
