Here's a link to the transcript:
So journalists supposedly had this in hand in 1990? Yet it is coming to light now? Color me dubious, but I guess I'd have to hear the tapes, and see video of the Ambassador-Journalists exchange for myself.

Yeah. I guess nothing is entirely outside the realm of possibility, but this seems pretty implausible. I gave the issue a quick look and there appears to be several versions of the transcript for the conversation in question. Maybe someone with more familiarity with the issue can help to flesh it out.

According to Wiki it was released by the GHWB Library and Margaret Thatcher Foundation in the late 1990s.

I remember this coming to light not too long after the Kuwait invasion.

I heard about this in the 90's. I think you are a few years late finding this out.
