Well if it overturned the ban, then the ban was overturned (grin).

>>> Of course! That's what I said: Reagan's executive order overturned the ban on exports to Iraq (and we resumed sales of many 'dual use materials' to Saddam's regime.)

>>> There was a Congressional hearing into what was sold to Saddam - as a result of this over-turning of the ban - and a complete list of the thousands of items we sold him was collected... and has been posted here before.

>>> It is still available on the Web (as I mentioned: anthrax was just one of the many things we sold him once the ban was raised... chemicals which could be used to make nerve gas were another.)

>>> I'm glad you don't dispute these facts.
