Oil-for-Food-for-al-Qaeda?

Investigations have shown that the former Iraqi dictator grafted and smuggled more than $10 billion from the program that for seven years prior to Saddam’s overthrow was meant to bring humanitarian aid to ordinary Iraqis. And the Sept. 11 Commission has shown a tracery of contacts between Saddam and Al Qaeda that continued after billions of Oil-for-Food dollars began pouring into Saddam’s coffers and Usama bin Laden declared his infamous war on the U.S.

Now, buried in some of the United Nation’s own confidential documents, clues can be seen that underscore the possibility of just such a Saddam-Al Qaeda link — clues leading to a locked door in this Swiss lakeside resort.

I realize that to some Democrats, a “tracery of contacts between Saddam and Al Qaeda” reported by the 9/11 Commission might come as a complete surprise, given how the news media and liberal pundits have redefined this to say “no connections at all”. It might be worth it, then, to read the whole thing. Claudia Rosett has been all over the UNSCAM story from the beginning and has a history of good reporting on it.
