In the June 22 edition of the Wall Street Journal were two articles about the German industrial conglomerate, Siemens AG. One headline read, “Siemens Expects to Land $21 Billion from Global Stimulus Spending” (with $8 billion in revenue from the U.S. stimulus spending alone). The other read, “Iran’s Web Spying Aided by Western Technology” and reported that Siemens provided the technological equipment used to censor, eavesdrop and threaten the Iranian people.
