At least according to one noxious vegan commenting on Blair’s blog, this is the case. Who wants to help sponsor this idiot to stand in bull ring with no protection?
In other news: ROPMA in the UK is doing their best to prove they mean us no harm.

Surprise ?!.....NOT !!
Iraq has taken things in its own hands and is acting like a sovereign nation instead of waiting for someone else to protect its interests, a sure sign that positive progress is being made. That it will put the UN in a bad light is not a bad consequence, either, for all the world to see.
In a letter to Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General, an adviser to Iraq’s interim governing council warns that the UN appeared to have “failed in its responsibility” to the Iraqi people and to the international community. “It will not come as a surprise if the Oil-for-Food Programme turns out to have been one of the world’s most disgraceful scams, and an example of inadequate control, responsibility and transparency, providing an opportune vehicle for Saddam Hussein to operate under the UN aegis to continue his reign of terror and oppression,” wrote Claude Hankes-Drielsma, a British businessman and former chairman of the management committee at Price Waterhouse accountants, on March 3.
One can only hope that all the sordid little details are disclosed in full.
