Anti-American Terrorist Corporations Protected by Bush
U.S. Corporations Supplied Weapons Technology to Iraq
|
A couple of weeks ago, the United States seized a secret United Nations report on Iraq and deleted the names of U.S. corporations that supplied weapons technology to Iraq. That UN report, the results of weeks of research and inspection, is now tainted. But the names of the "deleted" corporations have been leaked and were made public on December 18. In case you have not already seen them, here they are.

The names of companies were supposed to be top secret. Iraq furnished two copies of the full 12,000-page report, one to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Geneva, and one to the United Nations in New York. The U.S. broke a Security Council agreement and seized the UN's only copy. The U.S. then proceeded to make copies of the report for the other four permanent Security Council nations -- Britain, France, Russia and China. However, all references to foreign companies had been removed.

The Bush administration has some explaining to do. Has Bush flipflopped and decided to go soft on terrorism? Inconsistency is a sign of weakness. What's your opinion? Tell your views to The Progress Report:
