Alltaf leiðinlegt að hafa haft rangt fyrir sér, en rétt skal víst vera rétt. Fann á þetta á Wikipedia:
On 25 May 1994, The U.S. Senate Banking Committee released a report in which it was stated that pathogenic (meaning disease producing), toxigenic (meaning poisonous) and other biological research materials were exported to Iraq, pursuant to application and licensing by the U.S. Department of Commerce. It added: These exported biological materials were not attenuated or weakened and were capable of reproduction. [11]
The report then detailed 70 shipments (including anthrax bacillus) from the United States to Iraqi government agencies over three years, concluding It was later learned that these microorganisms exported by the United States were identical to those the UN inspectors found and recovered from the Iraqi biological warfare program. See another list here, and another here.
843 companies has been listed as being involved in the arming of Iraq. [12] Twenty-four U.S. firms exported arms and materials to Baghdad [13].
Donald Riegle, Chairman of the Senate committee that made the report, said, "UN inspectors had identified many United States manufactured items that had been exported from the United States to Iraq under licenses issued by the Department of Commerce, and [established] that these items were used to further Iraq's chemical and nuclear weapons development and its missile delivery system development programs.“ He added, ”the executive branch of our government approved 771 different export licenses for sale of dual-use technology to Iraq. I think that is a devastating record.“
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control sent Iraq 14 agents ”with biological warfare significance," including West Nile virus, according to Riegle's investigators [14] [15].
