Did Saddam Hussein use any of his ill-gotten billions filched from the United Nations oil-for-food program to help fund Al Qaeda?
Investigations have shown that the former Iraqi dictator grafted and smuggled more than $10 billion from the program that for seven years prior to Saddam’s overthrow was meant to bring humanitarian aid to ordinary Iraqis. And the Sept. 11 Commission has shown a tracery of contacts between Saddam and Al Qaeda that continued after billions of oil-for-food dollars began pouring into Saddam’s coffers and Usama bin Laden declared his famous war on the U.S.
Now, buried in some of the United Nation’s own confidential documents, clues can be seen that underscore the possibility of just such a Saddam-Al Qaeda link — clues leading to a locked door in this Swiss lakeside resort.

I dunno - remember what happened the last time the power was out at the UN... they looted the 7 day store!!!!
BTTT
Let them try.
The new media will be all over this like white on rice
"It's Bush's fault."
I think a series and hugh investigation will reveal it's Clinton's penis' fault.
Just checked DU...they haven't posted the story yet. Darn...I was hoping to watch them soil their pants in real time!
and John Kerry wants these Bozos invovled with our national security....
Involved? He wants to base his war-making decisions on them. Or at least that's what he said... once... I think.
My mistake.. I think.... Trying to figure out Kerry gives a person a headache....
POTENTIALLY HUGE: Possible Saddam-Al Qaeda Link Seen in U.N. Oil-for-Food Program
The only thing wrong with that heading is that the words; 'Potentially' and 'Possible' should be omitted.
There is no doubt this is true... It was all blood money that is why France and Germany did not get involved with our effort... but thats OK let the american people know what is going on... MSM this may be your last chance to do the right thing...
ping for later reading

I heard Eric Shawn of FNC on The John Bachelor Show this week--he and David Asman (sp?) are having a special (2 hrs long I think) this Sunday on FNC concerning the Oil for Food program and the possible al Qaeda connection--I think that he said at 9 P.M.
Sorry if this has been posted, but wasn't an Iraqi investigating this killed in a car bomb a few weeks ago?
