<<<Doesn't sound like ordinary business to me... >>
The high level international political dealings about oil, arms, and IMF funding can only be conducted by educated men of the highest level of intelligence ,oratory, and moral standards. Conducted in secret in limousines, villas, palaces and 5-star hotels and resorts over 3 martini lunches.
No man on the street, mentally dis-advantaged, can ever hope to understand how complex these dealings can be nor how important they are in regard to improving the average citizens life.
The sole purpose of the Press is to interpret the dealings in a positive manner to show how useful and truthful the elected leadership is and how capable they are in directing citzens how to think and vote
But then again, some ^%&*7&& member of the Press sticks their big nose in where it doesn't belong and starts connecting the dots.

Wouldn't you think that if the US had wanted Saddam to have reports they would have given them to him themselves?

I concur. France has no business discussing US-French dealing with Iraq without notifying the US that it is doing so. Especially in light of on-going sanctions against that regime.

It just confirms the extent of intimacy France (and Russia) accorded to Saddam's regime.
