Dear Salwa and List Members, I do not have an answer to Salwa's question but hope that the one who answers can also let us know whether such a contract/such a "deal", for such a significant sum, is in breach of the UN sanctions, which are not yet lifted technically. I suspect it is a bit ironic, a bit tragic that long time opponents to the UN sanctions start to take a suspicious stance on calls to lift the sanctions. But is there any reason to fear that if UN sanctions are lifted at this point, the beneficiary will be the US rather than the Iraqi people?
