David Chalmers of Huston's Bayoil was arrested at his home today and faces 62 years in jail if convicted of paying bribes to Sadaam.
The BIG part of the story goes back to the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980's. Working with the "good" Sadaam, he brokered a 20 million barrel deal with Chilean arms dealer Carlos Cardoen.

And that leads to "How US Arms & Technology Were Transferred to Iraq"
<Ted Koppel 'Night Line' Sept 13, 1991> Incredulity over how Cardoen got US cluster bombs & fuses capable of delivering chemical & bio weapons...which wound up in Sadaam's arsenal.
