Interesting note in light of all those people profiting off of the former iraqi regime and the UN's Oil for Food Program:

2001 late : (REPORT : RIHAB TAHA, WHOSE HUSBAND IS IRAQI OIL MINISTER AMIR RASHID UBAYDI, BELIEVED TO TEST HER POISONS ON HUMAN BEINGS) Military officials in Washington recently identified Rihab Taha as "the leading official in charge of Iraq's biological weapons program." She is also politically well-connected. Her husband is Iraqi oil minister Amir Rashid Ubaydi, who helps direct the country's relations with the U.N. weapons-inspection teams. U.N. inspectors believe Rihab Taha, who has a 5-year- old daughter, tests her poisons on human guinea pigs. Dr. John Turner, who once taught Rihab Taha biology, told London's Sunday Mirror: "It's a great shock, like finding your daughter has gone and done something dreadful." - "SECRETS OF 'DR. GERM'," by BILL HOFFMANN, New York Post , 10/22/01

Thanks for the ping! Yes, that note is interesting--does that legally qualify the profiteers as complicit in war crimes, then?
