Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was on the Board of Directors of Chevron Oil during a portion of the time that oil company profited illegally from the ‘Oil-for-Food’ program with Saddam Hussein. Now Chevron will pay millions in fines. But what did Condi know? She has a history of not knowing or forgetting troubling facts, says Barry Lando.
United States oil giant Chevron is ready to admit that it should have known that illegal payments were being paid to Saddam Hussein to purchase Iraqi petroleum during the Oil for Food Program. Will Condoleezza Rice admit her accountability?
In January 2005, during Senate confirmation hearings for her Secretary of State nomination, Rice expressed outrage at revelations that Saddam had used the "oil for food" program to purchase equipment that could have been used to produce WMD. "I think it is a scandal what happened with Oil-for-Food," she told the senators, pointing out that the United States relied on Oil-for-Food "to keep Saddam Hussein contained and checked."
