Saddam, The UN, & Bribery

HERE'S an interesting little tidbit of information...Seems Saddam offered the head ot the UN Inspection team a $2 Million dollar bribe if he were to doctor his reports to the UN to "make them right".

The official did the right thing and didn't accept the bribe, and reported it to the Volker Commission. One does have to wonder though....how many of the Inspectors were offered bribe money, and did any accept.

And of course, the main question, WHY would Saddam have to bribe anyone IF he didn't have something to hide? I am more and more anxious to see if just maybe the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon just may be hiding some secrets that the world should know about..... Those truck convoys into Lebanon from Iraq prior to the invasion were carrying SOMETHING after all....and somehow, I just can't believe it was surplus foodstuffs for the beleagered Syrians occupying Lebanon.
