Majali was drawn into controversy in 2001 when a Swiss company, Glencor International, was ordered to pay the United Nations $3-million for violating sanctions on Iraq. Glencor's South African partner at the time was Montega Trading, headed by Majali.

Isn't Glencore linked to Marc Rich of Clinton pardongate fame?

The UN has the records, all under that "Oil for Food" scheme that they controlled.

Our own State Department had to know what was going on.

This story keeps going on, not real prominent in the major media, but it keeps going.

If Chalabi was behind the original document coming to light, and if Chalabi really is an Iranian agent, and if this document was cooked up by Chalabi to further his own, and presumably Iran's interests, then there is a complexity to this story that I have not yet been able to get a handle on.

Isn't it true that the U.S. went into Iraq because the U.N. "sanctions" against the regime were breaking down and Iraq was selling more and more Oil on the market in exchange for Euros, threatening more destabilization of the U.S. dollar?

Just a thought....

I wonder if there is a connection to Joseph Wilson buried somewhere in the details of the documents.
