Snort. Oil For Food was a scam from its inception. And there was nothing shoddy about how that scam was managed.
It's just amazing that yahoo doesn't have a headline on this. Nor does CNN... But again, the possibility of Rove being indicted is the most important story for them...
no,no,no,....500 bazillion Iraqi children died because of sanctions.
What I'd like to see is a breakdown by which companies profited most. And go after those first. I'd also like to see the company breakdown by nationality.
I'm shocked! Then I am so easily shocked.
There, it's fixed.
Thanks for posting this.
It appears, a lot of us, including me, owe Mr Volcker an apology.
Was Schlumberger Limited (NYSE: SLB) one of the companies involved?
So many people and businesses involved - and so much money - and nobody said a WORD? The breadth of this corruption is staggering...
I,too am shocked, shocked and saddened by this"revelation".
And to think that "reputable" firms and individuals were involved in these types of activities. Oh,my!

"The 623-page document exposed the global scope of a scam that allegedly involved such name-brand companies as DaimlerChrysler "
Did saddamn drive a chrysler?
Only one of those 2,200 companies need have done business with Joe Wilson or his girl Val for everything to become crystal clear. He went to Niger to cover his or his handler's a$$.
See tagline.
You're thinking the same thing I am. Jaime Gorelick being on their Board of Directors makes Schlumberger very interesting indeed. Even if they are not named they could have some link to Marc Rich?
I just can't fathom the Clintons being able to keep their greedy hands out of the oil-for-food cookie jar, can you?
Last week, Benjamin celebrated the one-year anniversary of the day when he led the first sanctions-busting flight into Iraq. On April 5, 2000, Benjamin, a pilot and a member of the Italian Parliament, passed undetected through the no-fly zone in a small jet to protest the sanctions.
Since then, he has continued to travel regularly to Iraq, in bigger planes, bringing humanitarian aid and businessmen along for the ride.
Businessmen...hmmmmm....
My my my what a small world.
Oct. is National Sarcastic Awareness Month.
Yep... It will be tucked in all nice & cozy right next to the Sandy Berger file!
Father Benjamin first came to my attention a few days after the attack on the World Trade Centre, when the Vatican’s Online News Agency, Zenit, posted a strange little article claiming that Father Benjamin had been officiating at a high-powered wedding attended by European judges and politicians just a few days before September 11, and that he had told the guests that he’d been tipped off that a major US target would be attacked in the next few days using hijacked planes.
