Saddam's oil contracts

ABCNEWS has obtained an extraordinary list that contains the names of prominent people around the world who supported Saddam Hussein's regime and were given oil contracts as a result.

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/WNT/I..._040129-1.html

One of the premier anti-war politicians in Britain got a contract for 19 million barrels of oil. And denied every last drop of it... he was in Hussein's pocket.

Russian political parties were huge, huge benefactors of this plan... as were French officials and businessmen.

Two Americans got contracts.

Bloggers are busy googling the names for more details.
