Officials are trying to determine whether any of those companies knowingly violated the sanctions and U.S. Customs laws

I'm out of my useful real in my profession if they have to sigh or gasp for 1 minute in exasperation in making a determination on THAT one!

As for the money Iraq used to pay for goods bought from elsewhere, officials from the nation's central bank have located more than a dozen Iraqi government accounts at banks in Lebanon.

I wonder what the $$ amount is. Could it be that WMD will eventually be found in Lebanon?

Records show Iraq was buying forbidden U.S. high-tech goods

Yesterday, inspectors in Iraq found 37 cases of "The Clapper", which were believed to be targeted for use in remotely controlling the release of chemical and biological agents.

More ominously, transcripts from Iraqi army radio messages recorded by U.S. intelligence during the fall of Baghdad reportedly include the words "Clap on! Clap on!" being spoken in Arabic by the leader of the Iraqi forces.

Apparently, however, instead of applauding as commanded, junior Iraqi officers joined their troops in a hasty departure from the city, forestalling a potentially deadly wave of unconventional attacks.

They probably bought the stuff through third parties in France.

[expatpat]

companies in Germany and South Korea....referred to the United States as "our common enemy".....to ingratiate themselves with Iraq.

They also declined to name those foreign companies.

Come on, name these companies so we can make them our enemies.

Were the items in question flown in on UN chartered flights, I wonder...?

Wonder if David Kay has record of certain Clinton-doners selling equipment vis-a-vis the Food for Blood program.

This is getting good!
