"One of the first Baath leaders to go on trial -- perhaps even before Saddam -- will be Ali Hassan al-Majid, who earned the name "Chemical Ali" for his campaign against the Kurds in 1980s in which chemical weapons were used. Tens of thousands of Kurds were killed in the attacks" So...Does Ali ...hang alone.. or do those that 'Made his bed' "sleep" with him...?.......... 'A review of thousands of declassified government documents and interviews with former policymakers shows that U.S. intelligence and logistical support played a crucial role in shoring up Iraqi defenses against the "human wave" attacks by suicidal Iranian troops. The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague.' washingtonpost.com
