First the BBC melts down when it's revealed its "unbiased" reporting isn't, and now we have this:

Documents from Saddam Hussein's oil ministry reveal he used oil to bribe top French officials into opposing the imminent U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Oh yeah, it's such a tragic thing we ran roughshod over the UN and our "allies." And of course when such a storied and unbiased institution as the BBC starts running pieces calling our leaders's motivation into question it must be true.

Now tell me again about our empire...

Jeff gets his 2nd no-prize of the day for bringing the UPI story to our attention.
