13 April 2003: "The Can of Worms I"

Patrick Graham of the Observer appears to have found something which, if not a "smoking gun," is at least an ejected cartridge case.
Oh yeah, and something about Mukhabarat personnel receiving training from the Russians right up to last September, which is probably a violation of UNSC resolution 661 (1990), which forbids the sale or supply to any person or body in Iraq of "any commodities or products" except for medical supplies and, "in humanitarian circumstances, foodstuffs." Admittedly, certain restrictions were lifted under resolution 687 (1991), but I don't think "surveillance training for state intelligence and/or security organs" qualifies as "materials and supplies for essential civilian needs as identified in the report to the Secretary-General dated 20 March 1991."
