"This December will mark three years since United Nations inspectors last visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to refine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer- range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." -- From a December 6, 2001 letter signed by Bob Graham, Joe Lieberman, Harold Ford, & Tom Lantos among others

 Biden returns cash, Hillary doesn't
Joe Biden is donating to charity a contribution from a Houston oilman on trial for charges related to paying kickbacks to Saddam Hussein, and John McCain says he’ll follow if Oscar Wyatt is convicted. But Hillary Rodham Clinton would make no such pledge. Sens. Biden (D-Del.), McCain (R-Ariz.) and Clinton (D-N.Y.) years ago accepted thousands of dollars for previous campaigns from Wyatt, an opinionated self-made billionaire, and his wife, Lynn, as did dozens of others.

Wyatt, an 83-year-old World War II vet, was indicted in 2005 on fraud and conspiracy charges related to illegal payments for oil contracts from the Saddam-led Iraqi government under the United Nations’ oil-for-food program.
In an unusual move, a Wyatt spokesman, responding to a Politico story, e-mailed reporters urging “any politicians who want to return those funds received from [Wyatt]” to instead donate them to DeBakey Medical Foundation in Houston.
Mark Paustenbach, a spokesman for Biden’s presidential campaign, did not know to which charity his boss’ Senate campaign committee would donate the $1,000 it accepted from Wyatt in 1995.
“It was an isolated contribution,” he said. “We have no idea why it was made, but we’re giving it away.”
McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker said it is important to note the $6,000 McCain accepted from the Wyatts was not to his current presidential campaign. It was during his 2000 presidential run and his 1998 Senate reelection campaign.
