We will never know whether McDermott knew about the connection between al-Khafaji and SH, but in any event, if he didn't, I'm amazed.....just amazed.....that he is as fallible as anyone else. I wonder who else he's taken contributions from that might have been involved with SH or the Oil for Food program?

The paragraph below makes me wonder if McDermott, Conyers, Bonior and who else might be recipients of al-Khafaji's generosity?

Other funds, Mr. al-Khafaji allegedly told Tariq Aziz, would go to finance the elections of Democratic congressmen in order that they "would be a lobbyist for Iraq." Omar named Mr. Bonior and Rep. John Conyers. I pressed him as to whether he could be certain any transfers were ever made. No, he conceded, "maybe he was plotting to take the money for himself."

The charity Life for Relief and Development doesn't have a very high rating from the Charity Navigator.
