I have no problem believing that european companies abused the oil for food program. I would be surprised if there weren't any US companies also involved. Money talks... Furthermore I would be truly surprised if the US/Europeans did not know what a madman Saddam was even in the 80's when he was their 'best friend'.
Btw! Did you know that during the WW2 the nazis bought a lot of critical war supplies from the allied countries acting through intermediates. That included many US companies, even during the time that US was fighting the nazis. The same companies even provided material for both sides.
Some estimate that war was prolonged by atleast a year by the selling of critical supplies to the nazis by allied companies. A bit of topic, but history seems to repeat itself.
