Got a link to that, TLC? Something tells me you're leaving out some important context. Call it a hunch given your partisan history.
The link and quote was already provided in the article that you attempt to dismiss with a wawve of your hand. And it's also directly from the SCI report, but I'll repost it for those who want to ignore those kind of things:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/li...004_rpt/iraq-wmd-intell_chapter2-b.htm(U) In an interview with Committee staff, the former ambassador was able to provide more information about the meeting between former Prime Minister Mayaki and the Iraqi delegation. The former ambassador said that Mayaki did meet with the Iraqi delegation but never discussed what was meant by "expanding commercial relations."The former ambassador said that because Mayaki was wary of discussing any trade issues with a country under United Nations (UN) sanctions, he made a successful effort to steer the conversation away from a discussion of trade with the Iraqi delegation.
All it tells us is that Mayaki steered the conversation away from trade issues because he didn't want to run afoul of the UN. iow, he had no illusions precisely why the delegation was there, and it wasn't to have a secret meeting on importing cowpeas and onions.
