Iraqi Declaration of Weapons Includes U.S. Firms That Aided Iraqis
"Iraq's 12,000-page declaration of its weapons programs lists American companies that provided materials used by Baghdad to develop chemical and biological weapons in the 1980s, according to a senior Iraqi official. The public release of such a list could prove embarrassing for the United States and highlight the extent to which the Reagan and first Bush administrations supported Iraq in its eight-year war with neighboring Iran in the 1980s. U.S. military and financial assistance to Iraq continued until Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in August 1990."

Remarkably, "the United States received the sole copy of the dossier and supporting material that was intended for the council....the other 10 rotating council members will get edited copies of the dossier." The stated reason is that the documents may contain information about the manufacture of WMDs. How credible is this?
