For most of the 1990s the official U.S. and CIA position was that the attack was carried out by Iran, not Iraq. This is common knowledge until September 11, 2001, but like so much else it was stuffed down the memory hole (see the book "1984") in the mad rush to rewrite history to justify the present war. Orwell was one prescient guy.
