Guess whose name appears on the list as a prominent recipient of millions of barrels on numerous occasions? Someone completely RESPECTABLE? And duly reported in Le Monde, by the way?

And also by the way,investigation by the iraqi GC and British newspapers seems to be pointing towards these alleged SOMO oil agency documents as being the genuine article. Since the new Iraqi oil ministry has commented to this effect already, it would seem that lthere may be much more to come.
Lots of people are digging, including at this end (I’ve seen the full alleged list). See Harry’s Place.

If the rumors circulating that Chirac is involved personally in the “barrels of oil donations”, he’s french toast.

The only high ground the French occupy is that of hypocrisy, moral bankruptcy, and delusions of grandeur.

I expect that allegations as serious as these will produce an investigation that will tell us a great deal.

Someday I hope there will be an investigation into the recipients of Arab money in Congress and other parts of the U.S. government.

But perhaps Arabs are above bribery and lying.

If such a story were true then it suggests incredible foolishness on the part of those responsible for documentary evidence being discoverable. I don’t think it is a credible story no matter how many times it might be repeated.
