					<description><![CDATA[We would need a courtroom the size of that used for the Nuremberg Trials, although I have my doubts about that.

Wasn&#039;t Konrad Mizzi raised by Mr 10%? That might account for his inability to see right from wrong, as opposed to what suits him personally.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are certain factors that give weight to this scenario.  Shanghai Electric Power is making profits that are not easily explained given that the interconnector is  running at 80%+ capacity. 

The details of the contract are still a black - literally - area. Journalists have to chase Muscat - seven years too late - for the details of that agreement he signed with the Chinese government when he was still Opposition leader.

The four-man government delegation to Azerbaijan, who were not accompanied by senior civil servants, has led to questions of what was really discussed there. You do not walk away from certain kinds of deals without serious consequences. 

Claudette Buttigieg asked in parliament why the government has paid Vitals &#039;Global Healthcare&#039; 16 million euros already. 

You have companies in offshore jurisdictions hiding the identities of UBOs who are not going to see the boat upturned lightly. They have too much invested for things to go wrong. Someone will have to pay the piper.]]></description>

It&#039;s not quite the same thing. Hair colour is not a condition that affects thought and behaviour patterns. You cannot extrapolate from the behaviour of children with Asperger&#039;s to the behaviour of adult men with Asperger&#039;s.

Nor is the author of this piece suggesting that all men who have Asperger&#039;s are like Konrad Mizzi, but his thought, speech and behaviour patterns are most definitely the result of that condition. This is something apart from his criminal inclinations and the lack of conscience which allows him to lie so brazenly - and again, the author does not suggest that the criminal inclinations and lack of conscience are caused by Asperger&#039;s. But in his inability to gauge public reactions to his behaviour - yes, that is most definitely textbook Asperger&#039;s.]]></description>
