#  No news is good news?

 Written by S Johnson on 18 November 2009.

The Iraqi Supreme Court named and shamed 460 foreign companies of selling chemicals to the Hussein regime, yet despite this there have been no law suits against them. An Iraqi Parliamentary Committee is lobbying for action, yet, it would seem that the government/Supreme Court is seeing the 'big picture:’ the one that says these things are best left in the past. Shame.
