WASHINGTON — Money from the United Nations Oil-for-Food program (search) helped pay the families of Palestinian homicide bombers, the House Committee on International Relations is expected to reveal Wednesday during a hearing on corruption in the Iraqi relief program.
Investigators working for Illinois Republican Rep. Henry Hyde, chairman of the panel, are expected to say they have traced funds from former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's (search)kickback scheme through a Jordanian bank and into the hands of families of bombers who attacked Israeli citizens.
It has long been established that Saddam paid bounties of $15,000 to $25,000 to the Palestinian families of the murderers. Hyde's committee will reveal at the hearing that some of the reward money was deposited from illegal profits Saddam made by demanding 10 percent kickbacks on all the contracts of companies that did business with the U.N.'s Oil-for-Food program.

Where is the MSM outcry?
***crickets chirping***
I don't believe it!!! (sarcasm)
Brokaw and NBC will discuss it and blame the Jooos.
...and if they keep digging they are going to find dots connecting them right back here to some of our congressional representatives. When that happens this "investigation" will be sealed and go the way of Sandy Berger's stuffed underwear.
Arafat - (Berezovsky - Mashkadov/Basayev); billions; the preferred victims : children. The terror dot is easy to connect. (Nov. 16)

Freepers knew this two years ago.

That's their "right to return."
yep...wouldnt it be nice if we were fully energy-independent via renewable resources? then these murderers would have NO financial support. if only...
Put some ice on Koffi and the libs who support you.
A row of Jolly Rogers hoisted in front of the U.N. would be the "King of All Freeps". The greatest freep in the greatest city. Its only fitting.
Chirac had a part on it so it should be "frogs croaking" not "crickets chirping"

OLordWhatNow is a new Freeper and this is a ping to him.
Although I'll admit to also liking "The Media Hive," a term the American Spectator coined in its heyday some years ago.
