Found this through some sort of random arcane digging on Wikipedia:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2087877,00.html
The gist of the story is that FNH USA's president and CEO was a French intelligence service operative who led the team of agents who sunk a Greenpeace vessel in New Zealand in 1985, killing one person. And that despite US law against allowing individuals with ties to terrorism into the country, that he lives in D.C. and runs FNH.
Who knows about the validity of the sources, though.
I don't quite know what to make of all of it, but it certainly is an interesting tidbit of information. Makes one wonder what the heck really happened behind the scenes...
