Baghdad Jim McDermott on Saddam's Payroll?

Now that Saddam's files are open for the world to read, we're finding that lots of pro-Saddam journalists and politicians were having their palms crossed with Saddam's silver. One guy who collected some Iraqi cash was Seattle's Jim McDermott. Shortly after Bagdad Jim condemned George W. Bush while on Iraqi soil, Saddam bag man Shakir al-Khafaji deposited five grand into McDermott's Legal Defense Fund.
Baghdad Jim needs the money to defend himself from a lawsuit arising from his role in the illegal taping of conversation among Republican Congressional leadership.
