==Things to Do==
This article needs clean-up, should be expanded and stick more to the (open available!) sources. For example, Sandline did '''not''' violate the UN embargo on Sierra Leone, but only the british, misinterpreted version of the UN resolution. ''It is believed that the British as well as the US government might have been involved in the scandal'' makes the whole incident sound like a conspiracy, which is simply wrong. --[[User:Echoray|Echoray]] 23:22, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
