Documents: U.S. condoned Iraq oil smuggling
http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/02/02/iraq.oil.smuggle/

<snip>

(CNN) -- Documents obtained by CNN reveal the United States knew about, and even condoned, embargo-breaking oil sales by Saddam Hussein's regime, and did so to shore up alliances with Iraq's neighbors.

The oil trade with countries such as Turkey and Jordan appears to have been an open secret inside the U.S. government and the United Nations for years.

Hypocrites and liars. Deflecting the mess at the UN. Scumbags.

1. I got news for CNN--this ain't news! Lots of people knew about it,
and once again the incompetent media turned the other way.
