re:"Saddam also used the Oil-for-Food scam to fund terrorist organizations like the PFLP directly:" And according to Condi Rice, Saddam was using about 3B dollars a year of that money for arms..... She said that knowing full well that the US was buying 50% of Saddams oil and continued to do so right up until the invasion..... From your link...."The deal has been uncovered by US investigators, trawling millions of pages of documents showing a network of diplomats bribed by Saddam’s regimes, and political parties who qualified for backhanded payments from Baghdad. The Iraq Survey Group (ISG), which is still working its way through 20,000 boxes of documents from Saddam’s Baath party discovered only recently, found a list of pressure groups bankrolled by Saddam." The above is the crux of the story you cite, ....has the ISG given that as it's conclusion? And btw, where is your link for your Ahmed Yassin claim???
