Harpers Magazine is hardly fly by night. Relative to Harper's, ABC could be considered fluff.

Ish, you wrote the following:

>>>"...Iraq was under an oil for food program Saddam was diverting the food monies to his own use...."

Just out of curiosity, how do you know this?

It's my understanding that the program is and has been administered by the United Nations, not Iraq.

>>>The oil-for-food program, administered by the United Nations, allows Baghdad to export petroleum and use a major portion of the crude revenue to buy food, medicine and other humanitarian supplies under UN supervision.<<<

You haven't been watching too much "fair and balanced" Fox stuff, have ya--lol?
