Our good friend Evan, who writes and edits PEEK over at AlterNet, sent us this link titled US Complicity with Saddam. There you’ll find two five minute movies by ex-60 Minutes producer Barry Lando for French TV.

A documentary I reported, along with French jounralist Michel Despratx, for Canal + in France, has been broadcast in much of the world, but never in the United States. It details Western–and particularly U.S.– complicity with the crimes of Saddam Hussein–such as his use of chemical weapons first against Iranian troops, then against his own Iraqi Kurds. Back then, of course, the U.S. was backing Saddam, their de facto ally, against Khomeini.
