No U.S. companies or individuals were named, but that does not mean they were not involved. A CIA spokesperson cited U.S. privacy laws to explain why no U.S. companies or individuals were listed.

The only names that have surfaced so far are companies that have been asked for evidence about their participation in the $60 billion oil-for-food program that Saddam Hussein abused. The program was supposed to leverage the sanctioned country's natural resources in exchange for provisions for its citizens.

Exxon Mobil, ChevronTexaco, Valero and El Paso have all received subpoenas from a federal grand jury in New York investigating the program. Now that the report has been released, other companies and oil traders with Houston ties could be bracing for a Department of Justice probe."
