Pearle told investors they could profit from war

Pentagon adviser Richard Perle briefed an investment seminar on ways 
to profit from conflicts in Iraq and North Korea just weeks after he 
received a top-secret government briefing on the crises in the two 
countries.  

Perle, who until March was chairman of the Defense Policy Board, a 
group of outside advisers to the Pentagon, also serves on the board of 
several defense contractors. His actions raise concerns about conflicts 
of interest.  

Perle attended a Defense Intelligence Agency briefing in February and 
three weeks later participated in a Goldman Sachs conference call in 
which he advised investors in a talk titled Implications of an Imminent 
War: Iraq Now. North Korea Next?  

A financial advisor who participated in the conference call told Capitol 
Hill Blue that Perle offered "advice on how to cash if war broke out in  
Iraq and/or North Korea."
