Dear
Editor,
Mr.
Shlomo Bachrach’s commentary last week headlined, “The
Starbucks Affair” [Volume 8, Number 375, July 8, 2007]
contained numerous inaccuracies, some of which warrant
comment. Mr. Bachrach, whose consultancy with Light Years IP
ended in February 2007, has no firsthand knowledge of the
negotiations that paved the way for the agreement reached
between Ethiopia and Starbucks. His speculative remarks
about this process and its upshot were wildly off the mark.
What is more, his tendentious narrations and gratuitous
scepticism raise serious issues of professional ethics.
