Rock Creek Corp is listed as "Washington Investment Services and Stock Trading Services" at http://www.financial-investments.1clickguide.com/dc_washington_investment_services_3.html
Now, I find this on yet another site:
http://rogerlsimon.com/archives/00000404.htm On the other side:
1) The news media keeps listing Joseph C
Wilson as "CEO of JC Wilson International Ventures"
.....As of May 2003, Joseph Wilson's email address was
joewilson@rockcreekcorp.com 2) Mr Wilson's affiliation at several recent foreign policy conferences was listed as Rock Creek Corp. See ,e.g., ttp://www.mepc.org/public_asp/forums_chcs/30.asp
and
http://www.mepc.org/public_asp/forums_chcs/30.asp (Search for "Wilson" --e.g Iraqi Town Hall seminar on April 2003
3) If you look at Saudi Net's list of firms doing business in Saudi Arabia, you see Rock Creek Corporation--
see
http://www.the-saudi.net/business-center/links-usa.htm 4) According to the Center for Contempory Arab Studies, a member of their Board is the President of Rock Creek Corporation --Mr Elias Aburdene . see
http://www.ccasonline.org/events/Board.htm 5) Rock Creek Corporation is what is tactfully called a "private equity firm" See
http://www.cohengroup.net/team-amb.html 6) An October 1996 article in the Washington Business Journal notes re Mr Elias Aburdene:
"Franklin National Bank in Washington has hired the former head of Palmer National Bank's international private banking unit, in an effort to attract deposits from well-heeled foreign investors.
Since opening Sept. 1, Franklin's new international private banking division has garnered about 50 customers and $15 million in deposits. Elias Aburdene, advisor to the division, headed a similar department for five years at Palmer, which became a subsidiary of George Mason Bankshares in May.
Franklin, with $450 million in assets, has started a foreign exchange operation to accommodate the new business. But mostly, Aburdene said, international private banking means plain-vanilla services like checking, delivered with personal service.
"They [international clients] are looking for intangibles -- discretion, confidentiality, competence," Aburdene said. Clients also like to have access to top executives at the bank, giving smaller institutions like Franklin an edge, he added. "
Who the "well-heeled foreign investors" are and the nature of the "intangibles" they want is left as an exercise for the reader.
7) However, the name "Palmer National Bank" of Washington DC should make any spooks out there grin knowingly.
See
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/CIA/S&L_Scandal_CIA.html and search for "Palmer".
It certainly seems as if
Mr Wilson's boss has ..er.. been around the track a few times. Certainly enough times to know how to poke the Likud Neocons in the butt with a very sharp stick.

re: the above posts. This may very well turn out to be a "follow the money" issue. I do not know. I have not read them thoroughly, but wanted to post the links so others, with better, faster minds can start picking them apart.
This may give some idea of where the investigation is going and good old Joe may now be the target.
