Food-for-oil deals under Hussein rife with corruption
One of the most prolific purchasers of the oil was Swiss-based Glencore run by onetime fugitive American financier Marc Rich, which the report alleges paid more than $3.2 million in kickbacks to the Iraqi government. Rich, formerly wanted for tax evasion, ..........

He pardons Rich in 2001.

Saddam buys Kornet anti-tank missiles from Russia in 2003.

bugMeNot.comI think a lot of papers are sending interns to bugmenot and having them delete accounts. The NYT seems particularly guilty of this. Some of the names/passwords are pretty funny, but they don't work. >:o

It made the news back in July.
You are right though, sometimes it does not.
It was news to me.
At least 50-50, self described "Pickle in History" and with "heart problems"
So does this mean that the Clintons library sitting on the banks of the river in Little Rock was partially funded with Saddam's "oil" money????
Of Tranzis and fog
It was David Carr, a London-based Libertarian, who provided the memorable nickname for Transnational Progressivists when he called them "Tranzis." He explained, "A lot of us have known for some time there was something wrong in the world but it was difficult to pin down and put our fingers on. It was something that has no face and no name. Like fog it swirled all around us but not being corporeal we lashed out in all directions, landing blows on nothing. It was like an itch we could never scratch." We used to call these people "the left," and still do I suppose, but many of those pushing this apparently "left-wing" agenda seem to be high-level statesmen, the wealthy and the heads of multibillion-dollar corporations. Their behaviour cannot be explained away in terms of the Marxist "Class struggle." If the Tranzis are indeed leftists, they are so only in the sense that a frog was once a tadpole, having emerged long ago from its pond and jumped on to dry land.
Fonte is quick to forewarn us that this coming global administration will be no respecter of our freedoms and suggests that some form of racialist police state will be imposed. A state where the elites will encourage the historically oppressed to get even with their former oppressors. He claims that "dominant" groups will be obliged to yield power to "oppressed" groups, with the former being displaced from their jobs in the economic sphere until each category of task reflects the proportion of "oppressed" people in the population. Fonte believes that this will not be the end of it either. The proportion of "oppressed" people in the population will grow constantly. That's because another tenet of this Tranzi-ism holds that "dominant" countries must welcome immigrants from "oppressed" countries in unlimited numbers. Furthermore, if any "dominant" people protest, they will be jailed for "hate speech."

I think if you look at the totality of the implication with regard to the Clintons and the "Pardon", it raises some very serious questions.
Then again,as sharp as folk are around here, it's probably old news. Might be connected to what Tele's post #21 revealed. (sorry to do it up as copy/paste...pardon ME)http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/2/16/114715.shtml
Can you guys imagine the dirt & bodies that would be dug up if someone (besides the pajamahadeen) did some actual investigative reporting? Amazes me. Shout it from the rooftops indeed!
