I'm no conspiracy theorist. I don't buy into the assertion that the Bush administration (or the CIA, or whoever) played a hand in the rush to execute Saddam Hussein so that he could not be tried on any further charges in which the Reagan administration (or other U.S. officials) could be implicated.
But it's obvious that most people don't realize how much the U.S. aided Saddam Hussein's regime back when it was served the Washington agenda du jour.
In a recent column at truthout.org, William Rivers Pitt does a good job of summing up a lot of this stuff. Read it: Hussein the Rabbit
On the same note, here's more good dirt from The Independent (a British newspaper): Robert Fisk: A dictator created then destroyed by America
