Indeed, how was the world so blind to all of the UN's self-serving moves?
"UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The head of an independent panel investigating alleged corruption in the now-defunct U.N. oil-for-food program for Iraq (news - web sites) rejected on Tuesday a request to immediately turn over evidence that he has gathered to U.S. congressional investigators.
"Former U.S. Federal Reserve (news - web sites) Chairman Paul Volcker instead pledged to make virtually all the evidence public at his own pace, beginning early in 2005."
So is Volcker using $oddam's old chipping machines to shred these documents, or did he borrow the Clintoon's White House Shredders?
Yeah, the oil-for-food scandal is unprecedented. Unfortunately they'll just crank up the paper shredders before anyone but the criminals in the UN get a chnce to examine them.
Time to revoke their lease.
Fine, then we are not ready to release any more funding for the U.N. until you are ready to release the papers. No allowance for you, go stand in the corner.
Hey, Volcker has $60 million he's got to spend, $30 million of it from Kofi. This investigation will be every bit as corrupt and useless as the 911 commission that Gorelick was on.
Can Volcker be forced to release them?
Give them 24 hours to hand over the documents or send in the Marines to take them.

WASHINGTON — Money from the United Nations Oil-for-Food program (search) helped pay the families of Palestinian homicide bombers, the House Committee on International Relations is expected to reveal Wednesday during a hearing on corruption in the Iraqi relief program.
Investigators working for Illinois Republican Rep. Henry Hyde, chairman of the panel, are expected to say they have traced funds from former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's (search)kickback scheme through a Jordanian bank and into the hands of families of bombers who attacked Israeli citizens.
It has long been established that Saddam paid bounties of $15,000 to $25,000 to the Palestinian families of the murderers. Hyde's committee will reveal at the hearing that some of the reward money was deposited from illegal profits Saddam made by demanding 10 percent kickbacks on all the contracts of companies that did business with the U.N.'s Oil-for-Food program.
