Refresh my/our minds on that again...He is such a creep.

Wow.. where to begin?

The guy was an UNSCOM inspector who testified in front of a Senate committee and told them that Iraq's non-compliance with their inspection efforts required the UN/US to assert more coercive force in order to obtain cooperation.

Then, a few years later, after receiving $400,000 in funding from an Iraqi-American businessman later implicated in the oil for food scandal, he makes a movie "In Shifting Sands" claiming Iraq doesn't have WMDs, DESPITE the fact that he had confirmable basis for such a claim since UNSCOM had been kicked out of the country.

Then there are "rumours" that he was directly involved in receiving oil allocations from Iraq. (that's all I can say on that matter).

It's funny how some people who seem to have an apparent concern about "war profiteering" are quick to ignore the corruption and profiteering that took place PRIOR to the war, via the oil for food program.
