The U.S. tore out 12,000 pages from Iraq's report to the U.N

[Anonymous]

When you next hear Blair and Bush talking about a "smoking gun" in Iraq, ask why the US government last December confiscated the 12,000 pages of Iraq's weapons declaration, saying they contained "sensitive information" which needed "a little editing".

Sensitive indeed. The original Iraqi documents listed 150 American, British and other foreign companies that supplied Iraq with its nuclear, chemical and missile technology, many of them in illegal transactions. In 2000 Peter Hain, then a Foreign Office Minister, blocked a parliamentary request to publish the full list of lawbreaking British companies. He has never explained why.

I've heard about this. Why should the US be allowed to break the rules? Why can't it just face up to the consequences? I'm sick of them refusing to sign UN resolutions about torture and pollution. We're brought up to see America as the country of Independence, the country of Freedom and equal opportunities when it's spreading its disease all around the word, harming those weaker than itself and destroying humanity.

Unfortunatelly, I guess we cannot expect less from them.
I wonder what the hell do they understand about terms such as Justice and Freedom.
It's so obvious they just do not want to understand anything else besides their policies.

We should somehow ask the Iraqi government for the documents. It's certainly a great help for them.

there are plenty of rumors flying around but one in particular suggests that osama bin laden is in kurdistan (north iraq).

if this is true i believe that bush and blair want to hit iraq primarily for this reason but do not want to disclose the information. they may know that evidence against iraq may be limited but want to go ahead with attacking iraq to get to osama

its one of may theories
