News To me: I found this especially interesting given Helms development of the Safari Club circa 73-80 in Iran and with Saudi GDI;
--------
The Taliban, for their part, employed as their PR oficer in the US Laila Helms,
neice of Richard Helms, former director of the CIA and former US ambassdor
to Iran. In March 2001, Helms succeeded in brining Rahmatullah Hashami, Mullah Omar's adviser, to Washington. Apparently, he even brought a carpet as a gift for george W. Bush from hte Taliban leader. As late as August 2001,
meetings were held in Pakistan to discuss the pipeline business. At one of these, which took place in Islamabad on August 2, Christina Rocca, in charge of Asian affairs at the State Department, met the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef.

Unocal Huh? I thought Dick Helms could do better than that tsk!
