Ex-fugitive Marc Rich is suspected of having become one of Saddam Hussein's middlemen in Iraq's illegal oil trade just a month after he won a controversial pardon from former President Bill Clinton, a news report said.ABC News reported last night that Rich's alleged role in the growing UN oil-for-food scandal is under investigation by federal officials.
Rich, who was pardoned by Clinton in January 2001, and several other prominent oil traders are suspected of making illegal kickbacks to Iraq to win the lucrative oil contracts, the network reported.
The UN program was set up in 1996 to help Iraqis get food, medicine and other items that had been scarce under sanctions imposed after the 1991 Persian Gulf War. But investigators say Saddam realized more than $21billion under the program through kickbacks and other scams.
Rich fled the U.S. in 1986 while facing tax evasion charges.

Funny how when the effluvia of rat feces permeates the air, it always leads back to the klintoons. I would love to see the klintoons&Rich put under the federal penal system. Bill would survive on a blow-up love doll in prison or be made a punk. This would be deserving punishment for their mis-deeds at the low end of the spectrum.
Now I understand completely why he was pardoned by the two commanders-in-thief when they left office. This makes perfect sense now. ;o)
Connecting the dots then... the Clinton Library was partly built with the oil for food money, that is .. rich.. LOL
It is highly probable that GEORGE SOROS is involved in all this. Ultimately, the investigation will expose all the participants involved in the design, implementation and beneficiarys of this plan.
This scandal is the product of experienced hands. Rich the designer. Soros the implementer and profiteer. Soros has a "legitimate" empire to channel this action. A syndicate of many including this pair, facilitated the Saddam and his beneficiaries.
Soro's fanatical and seemingly illogical political opposition to Bush finally makes sense. This man is now the "deer in the headlights".
Please follow this logic and find the facts.
Marc Rich, eh? Does Clinton's pardon cover this scandalous activity too?
What the hell is going on with Eleanor Mondale's body? Look at those arms... yecch.
Ben Pollner? I wonder if he's related to Denise's attorney Martin Pollner?
The Clintons were working for John "It's nobel to die for the UN but not for the US" Kerry's campaign until not long ago.
She doesn't appear to have man hands.
Remember, they're the same group that was debating the meaning of "is"
Marc Rich and Denise, before all the major reconstruction
Ha ha ha! I thought the exact same thing!
Bill "I Don't Know What Sex Is" Clinton's friend has lots of explaining to do. Marc Rich was pardon by his buddy. Well, if they go to prison together, that would be rather interesting.
You just can't make this stuff up!
Mark Rich should be tied to and burned at the stake!
Does not come as a surprise. He is obviously without any moral values just like the man that pardoned him.
If Carter beat Ford because of Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon, what do you think this bombshell will do to Hillary's chances in 2008?
Make her a hero in the eyes of all Socialists in America.
Thanks for the shot of Mrs. Rich.
It taught me something.
I never knew that silicon droops.
