csberryI'm trying to figure out this report from the CIA on Iraq.
In this news story, it talks about the folks that Iraq illegally sold oil to and bribed. Supposedly everyone mentioned in the files found in Iraq is in the report.
EXCEPT..."Several U.S. firms were on the list but their names were not released because of privacy laws."
HUH?
Privacy laws protect US companies from being labeled Saddam-lovers, but we can mention people by name around the rest of the planet?
