More on Sadam's oil contracts

When an Iraqi paper said it had evidence that a large number of people in the West, Russia and elsewhere were given sweetheart deals for Iraqi oil, not much was made of the story in the US. Partly because no prominent US names were on the list and because those who were on the list (President of Indonesia and certain French politicians) denied everything. Well the Guardian, the Guardian of all papers (for those who don't know, the Guardian is a very left wing UK paper that makes the NY Times look down right conservative), is now expanding on the story.

Apparently, some of the money was going to support the demonstrations to lift the sanctions Iraq was under and to demand the end of the US and UK enforcement of the no fly zone in Northern and Southern Iraq. So basically Iraqi oil money was ending up financing the demonstration of people in the UK who were supporting Iraq and going to those in position of authority (read members of Parliament) who supported the ending of sanctions. That sounds like foreign interference in internal UK matters and hope the UK will investigate and force into the light all those who accepted the money so they can explain their actions to their fellow citizens.
