Oil-for-Food: Hearing Testimony, "List of 270," and Saddam's Assassin
By Andrew Cochran
Fox News has an excellent summary of the House International Relations oversight hearing on the Volcker report. The hearing statements and testimony can be found here (linked in the "OFF Collection" on the left sidebar). The subcommittee will issue subpoenas on Thursday to three companies with OFF ties, including BNP Paribas. Two points of discussion were the "List of 270," the 270 recipients of OFF vouchers, and the use of OFF funds for the killer of the father of Safia Taleb al-Suhail, who hugged the mother of a fallen Marine during the President's State of the Union speech. You can find the full List of 270 near the end of this MEMRI analysis, and here is the story on the use of OFF funds for Saddam's assassin, previously linked on this blog.
