How Australian Government & AWB beat US Senate probe

Documents from Australian Cole Inquiry reveal how Australian Government, diplomats and Australian Wheat Board (AWB) conspired to thwart a US Senate Investigation on corrupt & deadly kickbacks to Saddam Hussein.

Background to this story of corruption and betrayal: the UN Volker Report and Australian Cole Inquiry revelations show that Australian, US and UK Intelligence must have known from the very start in the late 1990s about the Australian Wheat Board (AWB) "Wheat for Weapons" scam that diverted $220 million from the UN Oil-for-Food Program, killed up to 21,000 Iraqi infants through diversions from scarce food and medical funding, corruptly cheated American and Canadian wheat farmers, "funded the Iraqi insurgency" and "killed or maimed two divisions worth of American soldiers and countless thousands of Iraqis” (according to staunchly pro-American but anti-Iraq War Australian Opposition Leader, Mr Kim Beazley) (see MWC News: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/6390/26/1/1/ and http://www.newsvine.com/awb ).
