February 1, 2005 -- WASHINGTON An Iraqi-American businessman under investigation in the U.N. oil-for-food scandal was placed on an honor roll of former regime thugs by Saddam Hussein's demonic son Uday just months before the war, The Post has learned. Detroit-area real-estate developer Shakir al-Khafaji, who received millions of dollars worth of vouchers to buy discount Iraqi crude in the U.N. oil-for-food program, appeared on an "Honor List" of Iraqis considered most valuable to Saddam that was published by the Uday Hussein's newspaper, Babil, in November 2002.

Remember Scott Ritter, the weapons inspector in Iraq, who was insistent that Iraq had weapons then suddenly changed his tune? "By his own admission, Ritter accepted $400,000 in funding two years ago from an Iraqi-American businessman named Shakir al-Khafaji."
Who is Shakir al-Khafaji? I don't know, but he is on the list of people directly receiving money from Saddam's regime:
"United States: Samir Vincent received 10.5 million barrels. In 2000, Vincent, an Iraqi-born American citizen who has lived in the U.S. since 1958, organized a delegation of Iraqi religious leaders to visit the U.S. and meet with former president Jimmy Carter. Shaker Al-Khafaji, the pro-Saddam chairman of the 17th conference of Iraqi expatriates, received 1 million barrels."

And now the reasons for the traitor and child rapist Scott Ritter's sudden conversion to the Hussein point of view are fully exposed. Likewise the reasons for traitor McDermott's unending sympathy for Saddam.

But there was a bizarre twist. Because the front-page list also contained names of Iraqi intelligence agents abroad and a mysterious agent based in Pakistan who was identified as a liaison to terror master Osama bin Laden, Saddam ordered hundreds of security agents to shut down his son's newspaper and confiscate copies, according to reports at the time. Gee, I wonder why they didn't find links to Al Qaida? /sarcasm

I must have missed the movie he and his Russian agent wife were going to make.

Surely we had a copy of "Babil" before. Surely our billions and billions of dollars spent on spy satellites could have photographed the print of the newspaper off an Iraqi newsstand.

Seems like this one brings things full circle back on the Ritter critter. I hope the CIA is keeping tabs on this traitor.

What to subscribers think of Jimmy Carter's participation is all of this? Is he really that naive and was just being used or has he a private reason for being involved. What do you think??

And now the reasons for the traitor and child rapist Scott Ritter's sudden conversion to the Hussein point of view are fully exposed.It's been exposed as it was plain when the list first came out. I prefer to say it's getting fully documented.
And guess where Scott's writings appear these days? Al Jazeera.
