Here's a story that hasn't gotten covered in the U.S. press: As the USA prepares for a war against Iraq, it is being sued by Iran for its previous close relationship to Saddam Hussein. At the UN's International Court of Justice [3] (ICJ), Teheran is accusing the United States of delivering dangerous chemicals and deadly viruses to Baghdad during the 1980s. Reports on the case have appeared in countries including Germany, England [4], Pakistan [5] and Malaysia [6]. In the United States, Associated Press writer Anthony Deutsch [7] filed a report on the case, but it does not seem to have been picked up by any U.S. newspapers. However, the National Security Archive, a nonprofit research institute on international affairs, has published a series of declassified U.S. documents detailing the U.S. embrace of Saddam Hussein in the early 1980s [8], including a photo of Donald Rumsfeld personally shaking Hussein's hand.
