Rumsfeld was on ABB board during deal with North Korea

[G2099]

Rumsfeld’s position at ABB could prove embarrassing for the Bush administration since while he was a director he was also active on issues of weapons proliferation, chairing the 1998 congressional Ballistic Missile Threat commission.

# ABB says Rumsfeld “may, or may not have” known about the deal.
# The Pentagon says Rumsfeld “does not recall it being brought before the board”.
