U.S. Has Things To Hide - Iraqi Justice Minister Says

Why does this not surprise me. Not only has King George been proven a liar by the DSM and the related documents that have been released, but now the Iraqi Justice Minister Abdel Hussein Shandal is saying he suspects the US is limiting access to the questioning of Saddam because U.S. officials have their own secrets to protect, including funnelling money and support to Iraqi leader during his rule. "It seems there are lots of secrets they want to hide," Shandal said. "There should be transparency and there should be frankness, but there are secrets that if revealed, won't be in the interest of many countries," he said. "Who was helping Saddam all those years?" It is a widely held belief that the US (and other countries) provided support during the Iran/Iraq war, but it is not known if this is what he is referring to or not. Whatever he means by the alledged accusation, it should be brought out in the open and let the chips fall where they may. Be it Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton or the current bunch, the support of a dictator of Saddam's ilk is unconscionable. There are too many secret deals by too many companies that are tied to the US government and it has to stop. My suspicion is, if the truth does finally come out it will lead right back to the oil interests of the current administration, their families and their coziness with big business now in the region. This could very well be the reason for the limiting the questioning of Saddam if true. More on this is available at Common Dreams.
