Rumsfeld's growing stake in Tamiflu

NEW YORK (Fortune) - The prospect of a bird flu outbreak may be panicking people around the globe, but it's proving to be very good news for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other politically connected investors in Gilead Sciences, the California biotech company that owns the rights to Tamiflu, the influenza remedy that's now the most-sought after drug in the world.

Yessiree bob, how very lucky for Donald "Aspartame" Rumsfeld that we're all being told to be afraid of Bird Flu, for which the only effective cure (we are told) is owned by a company Donald was CEO of and owns 40% of. Yep. The man sure is lucky. Yes indeed. Lucky. Very lucky.
