And how about the NRO expose by Amir Taheri, outlining how (1.) the Baathists are bankrupt and fleeing their creditors, (2.) they are broke because they bribed the "Arab Street" into anti-American protests this winter (is the media reporting this?), and (3.) Sadaam spent around $1 billion dollars bribing prominent Arab and Western politicians, intellectuals, and businessmen for their services. Some of this came out earlier, when a left-wing British Labourite was revealed to have received Sadaam's largesse. But apparently this is just the beginning, and if the new Iraqi government would take over the investigations and follow the paper trail across the Middle East and Europe, all kinds of fascinating things would be found.
