The headline was the author's... not mine, copied straight from the press release. Now, Rummie was a private citizen when he had that meeting with Saddam - but he was sent by the Reagan/Bush admin. to be it's representative. They really did want that pipeline. There is no disputing the - other - point I raised though (because it is official government history): After the gassing of the Kurds, Congress banned American exports to Iraq... and Reagan signed a (secret at the time) Executive Order which over-turned the ban. Anthrax samples was just one of the many 'dual use' things that we sold him after the ban was laid aside.

You mean he didnt ignore the weapons of mass destruction? He vigourously prosecuted the case against Iraq? He made sure the US sold no technology or weapons to Iraq? Any facts to support that?
