Re:
My point was that I don't think the BBC was indicating that the money was not ill-gotten, simply that Saddam had it in his name. If a drug dealer puts drug money in the bank, it is technically his "personal assets" in that he can take the money out. Does he have a moral right to the money? No. Is it under his personal control (at least for the moment)? Yes.
"Anxious?" didn't refer to anything about Saddam, more to the need to castigate the BBC. Sullivan did it, you reported his words.
