In the discussion in Parliament just following the attacks on Iraq last
month, George Galloway made the point that the allowances for Iraq to
import necessities under the Food-for-Oil programme (or is it the other
way round?) weren't enough to alleviate the great hardship in the country.
Either Robin Cook or the Prime Minister replied that Iraq was, anyway,
still exporting food products.
Is this true, to any one's knowledge?
Does it constitute Saddam hurting his own people further?
Any comments welcomed,
Becca Reeves
