AINA: "A 62-year-old Dutchman will be charged for war crimes and as an accomplice to genocide for supplying lethal chemicals to Saddam Hussein's regime, prosecutors said Tuesday."
However, it also appears that the man was protected by the Dutch secret services who provided him with a 'safe house' after he was forced to flee Iraq. They and the CIA must at least have known about his activities years ago. Without active official support the man could not have done this.

BlackCommentator: "The right wing hates America. They are the first to wave the flag and loudly proclaim their love of country. They are also the first to stab their country men and women in the back when it suits them.
Now that Bush is safely in power for another four years they are wasting no time in showing us that they are firmly in charge and not taking any prisoners. Their goals are very simple. They want to destroy the government's ability to do anything except fight wars and make the wealthy even wealthier."
Let Mr Bush know what he is doing, send him a Christmas card with one of these pictures.
His address is: The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500.
