The United States administration turned a blind eye to extensive
sanctions-busting in the prewar sale of Iraqi oil, according to a new
Senate investigation.
A report released last night by Democratic staff on a Senate
investigations committee presents documentary evidence that the Bush
administration was made aware of illegal oil sales and kickbacks paid
to the Saddam Hussein regime but did nothing to stop them.
