UNITED NATIONS - An Iraqi official said today there was a list of cash bribes made by Saddam Hussein's government to journalists, politicians and groups in connection with the US$67 billion ($108.92 billion) UN-run oil-for-food programme.
Jalal Talabani, a Kurdish member of the Iraqi Governing Council, said Iraqi officials combing Saddam's files had not decided whether to release the list as part of a burgeoning scandal over the defunct programme.
"We have a list of cash paid to journalists, personalities, groups and parties," Talabani told a news conference after conferring with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan over an Iraqi interim government.

I wish reading this bribe list would be the surprise Chris Wallace has in store for us on his show in answer to Howdy Doody's reading last night.
Dang, would THAT make my day, especially hearing the names of journalists that took bribes.

Oh please let me see the "journalists and personalities" that were paid off. Wouldn't it be great to see a complete published list?

I'm sure GW has this little plan to release the list, just like he will bring out OBL just before the election.

What would be most excellent is if Ted Koppel is on that list of journalists.

Just see which journalists, politicians and groups might be perspiring profusely. Some are probably shaking in their boots.

The UN scandal seems to be the "trump card".
Perhaps Poker isn't the only card game the President excels in?

Today on Brit Hume's Special Report they said there were scandals involving some of the parties being connected to Al Qaeda and Hamas and money contributions. No wonder the papers disappeared.

CNN has to be on the top of the list of so called journalists accepting bribes.
