Another interesting bit from Sri Raman..
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The Iraqi records were seized by the <b>American occupying force</b> and handed over to private auditing company Ernst and Young LLP, which was hired jointly by the <b>US occupation authorities</b> and the interim Iraqi regime set up by them. It was entrusted with the responsibility of a preliminary vetting of the Iraqi documents and making them available to the Volcker committee.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Since there is no law governing UN investigations, the Volcker Committee followed its own procedure. The statements of the <b>US occupation authorities</b> and their Iraqi collaborators regarding the origin of the documents and what they implied were accepted without independent corroboration.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Other places too.. "occupation" 5 times.
