One of those "Saddam friends" is Shakir al-Khafaji, an Iraqi-American businessman from Detroit. Since 1992, al-Khafaji has served as president of the regime-backed Expatriate Conferences, held in Baghdad every other year. The government provided subsidized travel for Iraqis living outside of the country.

At the 2000 Expatriate Conference, according to a report in the Jewish newspaper Forward, Al-Khafaji appeared on stage with Tariq Aziz, who was then foreign minister. The pair railed about economic sanctions, which they said were starving the Iraqi people. The official conference website accuses the United States of "terrorism and genocide" in Iraq.


The same gentleman that got Mr. Scott Ritter an audience with Saddam Hussein. The SAME gentleman that has of 3/31/2003 $1,000 to Senator and presidential candidate John Kerry..............

Isn't al-Khafaji the same guy who paid Scott Ritter 400,000 to make an anti-American documentary?

Scott Ritter was also arrested trying to pick up a (girl he thought was) 14 yo at a Burger King in a police sting.

I believe, and it's just an opinion, that he was filmed in Iraq with underage girls, and blackmailed, frankly. Some UN inspector HE turned out to be--going from a fervent searcher for WMD that he was certain were in Iraq to an anti-American wimp overnight.

Filth at the UN...NO MORE TAX DOLLARS TO THE CORRUPT KILLERS AT THE UN!
