Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hi Nat; I checked back in my " history " file and found the exact article. I should probably warn people that the author holds certain political views that some may not agree with; but that I am posting the link for the information about Thailand pharmeceuticals *only*. Here it is: http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2004/3131aids_uspolicy.html > > > > > > It wasn't pretty.
