Yes sometimes the translations are boring and hardly the stuff of breathless Lamestream reporting. But if the entirety of the American public was on a jury, and that jury was shown these many documents from pre-war Iraq, well I'll go out on a limb here and pronounce Saddam "guilty".
Once upon a time the Lamestream media use to document stuff like this and present it to the reading public in an unbiased manner that the Lamestream reports, the American public decides.
So here we have Saddam's regime purchasing such lovely chemicals as Sodium Cyanide and other dangerous chemicals, bolded in the translation excerpt below.
While lovely Saddam might grouse in his trial that these chemicals had a proper industrial use, hold on. Certain so-called "dual-use" weapons were expressly forbidden by the U.N.
UN Documents on Forbidden Chemical Weapons
Further, here's an article that had the gentle Finnish rushing to ascertain just what chemicals Finnish couples may have sold to Saddam and in what quantities.
Again, the international community sold this stuff, even with the U.N. many resolutions, to Saddam. If the international community had just adhered to the agreement that THEY signed, U.S. troops that died in Iraq would be alive today.
And America would not be villified wrongly as it has been by the many members of the international community who got lying through their teeth.
Finnish Report on Iraqi Purchase of Chemicals
The NBI began to look into the affair in December 2002, after receiving a tip-off from the Security Police. The Security Police had in turn received information of suspicious enquiries made to a Vantaa-based company by a Finnish architect of Iraqi extraction. The National Bureau of Investigation detectives began to suspect something more was going on when confiscated documents showed correspondence that mentioned not only conventional weaponry but items such as graphite rods, a broad range of chemicals, and radiation counters. Some of the items were on the United Nations' controlled Goods Review List. The chemicals concerned had possible applications as raw materials for battlefield weapons such as nerve gases.

This paragraph from MSDS website regarding the danger of Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) and how it can be obtained by mixing Sodium Cyanide (NaCN) and Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4).
”Exposure to 300 ppm hydrogen cyanide by inhalation can be fatal within minutes and lower doses can endanger life. The high toxicity of HCN was once exploited for the execution of prisoners in several US states; the HCN was generated as needed by dropping NaCN into a solution of sulfuric acid.” Detail HERE
