Bono of U2 seen endorsing US-African Oil Summit organised by Cheney's Halliburton Corporation

What is Bono doing supporting Mercenary, Energy & Millitary "investment in Africa"....?

Following the Irish Indymedia news that the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Perle investment vehicle Halliburton Brown & Root are building Berties doomed Dublin Port Tunnel and advising Mary Harney's Dept.[inbetween finishing Guantanamo Bay & preparing the Umm Qasr gateway port in Iraq] here's another nugget of negative PR for the Irish nation.

Bono of U2, a vocal supporter of the "Corprate Council on Africa" may currently be caught out promoting their shady upcoming Business Summit in the Washington Hilton. On the agenda over then 3-day heavyweight US-African energy & industry event are workshops on Algerias Oil Reserves/Angolan Energy Policy/Chad-Cameroon Pipeline Concerns and How to Deal With African Banks.
Bono can be seen in an advert encouraging US corporations to Register for the Summit at http://www.africancl.org
I recommend the Sponsorship Information page, where US Energy Corporations can find out how much to pay in order to sit at dinner with African leaders such as Algeria's Boutaflika [as Bono & Cheney are seen doing]:

The US-African "development" council counts Cheney's Brown & Root as one of it's 18 Board Members along with other major US Oil/Gas/Energy superpowers.
Energy contracts currently up for grabs in Africa are expected to be worth over $100billion in 2003-2004.
The Washington-based CCA was Chaired until very recently by Texan/Algerian based Anadarko Petroleum's Bob Allison - Halliburton B&R partner, Cheney confidante, and mate of Bono's.

Another notable membeof the council is that African Development perennial, MPRI - occasional business partner of Brown & Root and supplier of "tactical military training and personnel in contentious territories". MPRI are the private Mercenary company working with the Pentagon in covert opps in Colombia/Kosovo & all across Africa since 1988.

So, anybody lucky enough to be in DC for the Council Summit, crash the party and see who sits at Bono's table first - Cheney or Mandela...
