According to this article in Arutz Sheva, Mr. Baker isn't exactly an impartial observer.

"According to a report by World Net Daily reporter Aaron Klein, Baker hired Nir Gouaz, president of Caesar Global Securities in Israel, to collect a debt from the Hussein regime in 1998."

The WND article states,

"Nir Gouaz, president of Caesar Global Securities in Israel, told WND that Baker's firm, Houston-based Baker Botts, made about $30 million collecting funds owed to a South Korean company by the Iraqi government at the peak of American sanctions imposed against Baghdad. "

He claimed Baker was directly involved in the deal.

Where are the Leftists screaming for an ethics investigation when you need them?
