Journalists in Baghdad are scrambling to secure a full copy of the list, and to investigate its accuracy. Did supposed "statesmen" and political parties around the world provide cover for Saddam in exchange for oil? Are there more lists to be uncovered? Was the U.N. Oil for Food Program being corrupted by Saddam and his allies? There are a great many questions that need answers. Thanks to George W. Bush, Saddam's records are now open for inspection. When will Kofi Annan open the U.N.'s records on the Oil for Food Program, and what will they show?

Stay tuned folks!!

It could represent just the tip of the iceberg, in terms of showing how Saddam used his petroleum and cash to purchase friends and favors.

It will shock me if somehow the Clinton Administration isn't eventually implicated in this, as everyone in the world knew they were for sale. (Except for those who still won't admit it.)

Terror - Islam Monday, February 09, 2004 MEMRI

On January 25, 2004, a daily newspaper in Iraq called al Mada published a list of individuals and organizations who it says received oil from the now-deposed regime. Among those listed is Shakir al Khafaji, an Iraqi-American from Detroit, who ran "Expatriate Conferences" for the regime in Baghdad. Al Khafaji also contributed $400,000 to the production of Scott Ritter's film "In Shifting Sands." Finally, al Khafaji arranged travel and financing for the "Baghdad Democrats"--Jim McDermott, Mike Thompson and David Bonior--last fall. Following the trip, al Khafaji contributed $5,000 to McDermott's Legal Defense Fund.
