Read our detailed article to better understand the relevance and significance of this latter cartoon.

Photos of Michael Dithmer might help put a face on the name that was mentioned quite a lot in our feature article as well. Here are some photos of the Permanent Secretary Michael Dithmer, who likes to hunt (kill) animals.

Copies of the official CVs of Poulsen [PDF] and of Dithmer [PDF] are saved here as well, in case they modify these in the future (we already covered examples where lawyers changed their CVs in order to hide their connections to Microsoft after they had been exposed by the media or by blogs). ⬆
