#1 Ummm, Yeah "Dr Hans Blix Senior Advisor" is distinctly odd.

Hans Blix is the Chief weapons inspector in Iraq. He works for the United Nations.

#3 The agreement assigns to Thorium Power Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Thorium Power, Ltd., the worldwide rights, title and interest in and to the technical data generated from the ampoule irradiation testing of seed and blanket fuel samples in the Kurchatov research reactor over the past two years."

#5 Well, I'm only "Honored" with the Thorium Brotherhood, and have intention of working up to "Exhalted", so I don't have a vote, but Blix, IMHO should be fed to a Fel Reaver. heh.

#6 What got my spider sense tingling was first its location: McLean, VA, home of the CIA and NSA.

Second and third were Blix, who you would *think* is a personna non grata in the area of the US government. And of course the Russians and the nuclear material.
