Unfortunately it's only the seller that's arrested. They really ought to do something about the buyers as well. (Not to mention the middlemen. Apparently the Iraqi army paid USD85M, and the seller only got about USD20M, with the rest probably lining the pockets of Iraqi generals.)

So there ya go - maybe he's not such a complete crock of shite after all, just very, <i>very</i> nearly so...
