Ray -- Since the information was reported publicly, it is a safe assumption. Cheney, in particular, must have known since he was defense at the time several assessments were written. Perhaps he didn't think it was important enough to put on Bush's lullaby tape. M2

excerpted from MARINE CORPS HISTORICAL PUBLICATION FMFRP 3-203 - Lessons Learned: Iran-Iraq War, 10 December 1990 fas.org Cheney was head of Defense at the time. M2 "Blood agents were allegedly responsible for the most infamous use of chemicals in the war—the killing of Kurds at Halabjah. Since the Iraqis have no history of using these two agents-and the Iranians do-we conclude that the Iranians perpetrated this attack. It is also worth noting that lethal concentrations of cyanogen are difficult to obtain over an area target, thus the reports of 5,000 Kurds dead in Halabjah are suspect."
