Guest Amos Nandy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 US: Saddam paid for lawmakers' Iraq trip By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer 27 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Saddam Hussein's intelligence agency secretly financed a trip to Iraq for three U.S. lawmakers during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT The three anti-war Democrats made the trip in October 2002, while the Bush administration was trying to persuade Congress to authorize military action against Iraq. While traveling, they called for a diplomatic solution. Prosecutors say that trip was arranged by Muthanna Al-Hanooti, a Michigan charity official, who was charged Wednesday with setting up the junket at the behest of Saddam's regime. Iraqi intelligence officials allegedly paid for the trip through an intermediary and rewarded Al-Hanooti with 2 million barrels of Iraqi oil. The lawmakers are not named in the indictment but the dates correspond to a trip by Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott of Washington, David Bonior of Michigan and Mike Thompson of California. None was charged and Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said investigators "have no information whatsoever" any of them knew the trip was underwritten by Saddam. "Obviously, we didn't know it at the time," McDermott spokesman Michael DeCesare said Wednesday. "The trip was to see the plight of the Iraqi children. That's the only reason we went." Both McDermott and Thompson are popular among liberal voters in their reliably Democratic districts for their anti-war views. Bonior is no longer in Congress. Thompson released a statement Wednesday saying the trip was approved by the State Department. "Obviously, had there been any question at all regarding the sponsor of the trip or the funding, I would not have participated," he said. During the trip, the lawmakers expressed skepticism about the Bush administration's claims that Saddam was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction. Though such weapons ultimately were never found, the lawmakers drew criticism for their trip at the time. Oklahoma Sen. Don Nickles, then the second-ranking Senate Republican, said the Democrats "sound somewhat like spokespersons for the Iraqi government." Seattle-area conservatives dubbed McDermott "Baghdad Jim" for the Iraq trip. Al-Hanooti was arrested Tuesday night while returning to the U.S. from the Middle East, where he was looking for a job, his attorney, James Thomas, said. Al-Hanooti pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of conspiracy to act as an unregistered agent of a foreign government, illegally purchasing Iraqi oil and lying to authorities. He was being held on $100,000 bail. Between 1999 and 2006, he worked on and off as a public relations coordinator for Life for Relief and Development, a charity formed after the first Gulf War to fund humanitarian work in Iraq. FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force agents raided the charity's headquarters in 2006 but charged nobody and allowed the agency to continue operating. McDermott identified that charity as the group financing the Iraq trip. In House disclosure forms, he put the cost at $5,510. Thompson also understood the charity to be financing the trip, spokeswoman Anne Warden said. Prosecutors said Al-Hanooti was responsible for monitoring Congress for the Iraqi Intelligence Service. From 1999 to 2002, he allegedly provided Saddam's government with a list of U.S. lawmakers he believed favored lifting economic sanctions against Iraq. Thomas said Al-Hanooti would "vigorously defend" himself against the charges but he could not discuss the specifics of the case since he had seen none of the evidence. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080327/ap_on_re_us/iraq_junket_15 IF YOU DON'T VOTE REPUBLICAN YOU'RE VOTING FOR TERRORISM!

Exactly what responsibilities did Saddam not live up to? There are a lot of idiots in America, if we take your word for it. This survey states that 70% of Americans thought there was a Saddam - 9/11 connection: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-09-06-poll-iraq_x.htm Of course, the administration worked overtime to plant that impression in the minds of the public. And later, when only 50% of Americans believed in the connection, Republican idiots outnumbered their Democratic counterparts 2 to 1. http://www.zogby.com/News/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1169 The same survey shows that Republicans are scared shitless and are much more willing to give up big chunks of individual freedom for the illusion of safety. Go ahead, Government, tap my phone, read my mail, I don't mind a police state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it America's job to see to it that people live up to their responsibilities? In their own country? And those Kurds you speak of, were they the ones slaughtered in 1991, when George Herbert Walker Bush suggested an uprising and then did nothing when they acted in response to his words and were mowed down by "he tried to kill my Dad" Hussein? > >> >> There are a lot of idiots in America, if we take your word for it. >> This survey states that 70% of Americans thought there was a Saddam - >> 9/11 connection: >> http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-09-06-poll-iraq_x.htm >> >> Of course, the administration worked overtime to plant that impression >> in the minds of the public. >> >> And later, when only 50% of Americans believed in the connection, >> Republican idiots outnumbered their Democratic counterparts 2 to 1. >> http://www.zogby.com/News/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1169 >> >> The same survey shows that Republicans are scared shitless and are >> much more willing to give up big chunks of individual freedom for the >> illusion of safety.

Guest Peach Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I thought they were doing something REALLY loathsome, like sucking face with the KING of the country that 15 of the 19 9/11 killers come from, the nation whose citizens finance al Qaeda. Instead, three Congressmen took a State Department approved trip, they didn't bow down to Saudi King Abdullah. THAT was baby Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peach Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 In the run up to "The Hunt For the Man Who Threatened Poppy" the traitorous activities were in the VP's private war council. Cheney avidly lobbied for the invasion that has taken thousands of American lives AND made him a 3000% profit off his Haliburton stock options. I'd guess you have no problem with Cheney profiting off our troops' deaths in an unnecessary war, but many AMERICANS do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
