Did a search and only found some stories from June of last year about similar documents that were deemed to be forgeries. These appear to be new. Anyone else heard about these?

"I've never seen a bottle of oil, owned one or bought one," Galloway said in a previous interview with ABCNEWS.

Never owned a car then I guess. Wow...these people ARE dumber than posts.

[Meldrim]

I can't imagine but that Saddam is spilling a lot of information.

[demkicker]

Also on the list are the names of prominent journalists, two Iraqi-Americans

I didn't see these names listed.

[camle]

is this oil for blood?
and where oh where is Dick Cheney and Halibutron?

you know this isn't going to get the media play it deserves...

[MEG33]

Yes,I believe Memri had this ..but not a major news source.It is astonishing how the favors were spread around for support.

I've never seen a bottle of oil, owned one or bought one," Galloway said

...and we believe you. I'm sure none of the other 270 alleged recipients saw any oil either.

Another evil attempt of the "Bush cabal" to smear innocent folks that wouldn't go along with his Blood for Oil plan ;-)

Yeah, it's been posted here a couple of times over the last couple of days. Who cares though? Its still fun!

Interesting to note that pretty much the entire world socialist movement is on the payroll. Hopefully volume II yields us Terry McAullife, the NAACP, NARAL, and the ACLU.

Rush reported this yesterday. his source was a new Iraqi press outlet, but I don't remember the name of the source (it was Arabic sounding, so I wouldn't have a clue how to spell it if I did remember it). Perhaps this info is at Rush's website.

In light of these documents, anyone who thought France and Russia's opposition to the war was ideological is a fool. They just didn't want to be discovered dipping their hands into the cookie jar.

If found to be legitimate, these documents are further proof that the U.N. consists of a bunch of corrupt countries gaming the system and covering up for one another.

I've never seen a bottle of oil, owned one or bought one," Galloway said

Investigators say none of the people involved would have actually taken possession of oil, but rather just the right to buy the oil at a discounted price, which could be resold to a legitimate broker or oil company, at an average profit of about 50 cents a barrel.

Galloway must think people are REALLY stupid . . .

[Boxsford]

Liberals scream "War for oil!" but where are their screams, "Oil for NO WAR!"

[Stars N Stripes]

Ok, thanks. I guess my searching skills need a little polishing.

[SW6906]

I've been waiting for this to come out. I am BLOWN AWAY that it is ABC reporting it!

I think that the journalists and the two Americans are different people. Americans appear about half way through the list. The only journalist I noticed that was labeled that way is a Lebanese guy listed under Spain near the top.

Could you post the ties to "D" that were posted in previous article.

[cyncooper]

This has been discussed, but I double checked your source..ABC News.

Interesting.

ABC News picks up The List. I can't recall who all was on that thread the other night, if you want to alert others to ABC picking up the ball on this story.
