One MI6 officer is said to have divulged that MI6 was “closely observing” the role of Hurricane Hydrocarbons, a Canadian oil 
company, and financial arrangements involving oilfields in Kazakhstan. A second MI6 officer is alleged to have revealed 
information that the service held on Akezhan Kazhegeldin, the former Kazakh prime minister. The report also contains 
information that it claims was given by Scotland Yard detectives.
The leaked document has been circulating in Washington for several months. Lawyers with knowledge of the case accept that the 
authors of the report may have embellished details of their contacts with law enforcement officials on both sides of the 
Atlantic. 
Yesterday a Whitehall security official said the report did not appear to match MI6’s own records. Arman Baisuanov, a 
counsellor at the Kazakhstan embassy in London, denied that his government had been involved in any inappropriate or illegal 
activity. 
********** is chairman of the Commons foreign affairs committee which is responsible to parliament for overseeing the affairs 
of MI6. He said he was alarmed at suggestions that serving British intelligence officers might have leaked information that 
could have found its way into the hands of people whom the agency was monitoring. 
“If true, these allegations raise very serious concerns and I expect the government to investigate them,” he said.   
The Sunday Times has seen a copy of a report by Global Options Management, a firm of private security consultants with 
offices in Washington and, previously, in London.
The company is chaired by **********, who is an economic adviser to the Kazakhstan government and a director of the country’s 
sovereign wealth fund. Political opponents of the Kazakh regime claim that ********** is ********** “point man” in Washington 
and that he helps to manage some of the Kazakh leader’s wealth.
********** last week declined to comment. **********, his spokesman, said: “********** is a respected business consultant 
based in the United States who rigorously abides by the laws and regulations of any country in which he operates.” 
Privately, aides said ********** was “aware” of a report. But, shown a copy of the relevant extracts of the report, they 
declined to comment publicly.
********** has admitted in the past that he has had dealings with **********, the president’s daughter who is an opera 
singer. But he denies that his firm had been hired by her to compile the document. 
**********, the president’s former son-in-law, has claimed that ********** has diverted billions of dollars in state assets 
and has long taken commissions from foreign companies doing business in Kazakhstan.

Suggest separate briar pipe care from Meerschaum

My wife got me a beautiful meerschaum that I love. Every site I see says "don't use pipe sweetener" and other such things.

Maybe a separate page?


Hmm... that is a good point. Would you like to develop an article on meerschaum pipe care or know of someone who would? If so, I would be more than happy to add it to Pipedia. I don't have enough expertise with Meerchaum pipe care to do it justice --sethile 10:50, 11 June 2012 (CDT)
