We know it must be true, because both corporate and Iranian state media say the same thing. This man is an alleged Iraqi spy who funded a sinister "junket" by three members of Congress. From Iran's Press TV:
'Saddam paid for Congressmen trip'

 Saddam was hanged for crimes against Iraqi people on Dec. 30, 2006 |
An indictment unsealed in Detroit accuses Muthanna Al-Hanooti, a member of a Michigan nonprofit group, of arranging for three members of Congress to travel to Iraq in October 2002 at the behest of Saddam's regime.
Prosecutors say Iraqi intelligence officials paid for the trip through an intermediary. In exchange for coordinating the trip, Al-Hanooti allegedly received 2 million barrels of Iraqi oil.
The lawmakers are not named in the indictment but the dates correspond to a trip by Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott, David Bonior and Mike Thompson.
At the time, the Bush administration was trying to persuade Congress to authorize military action against Iraq.
---------------------------------
Did you see the ridiculous pricing error? The expense in setting this up was "2 million barrels of oil", or about $50-$80 million at the low oil prices which existed before the US invasion of Iraq. This is such a preposterous amount of money to spend on a lobbyist that it is clear that this "evidence" is being made up by somebody who doesn't even know how much a gallon of gas costs. Could this mean that Bush himself writes the propaganda? And does this mean he doesn't even know how much three members of Congress cost?
