"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?

"independent panel"

Hilarious. Volcker is heading the UN's panel, unto which they appended the 11 letter word "independent" to confuse people.

"So is Volcker using $oddam's old chipping machines to shred these documents, or did he borrow the Clintoon's White House Shredders?"
No, but in his capacity as a head of "independent panel" in international organization with diplomatic immunities he does not have US senators in his reporting chain, thus there is no need for him to accommodate their posturing. His integrity has not yet been doubted, and he'd release the papers in his own good time.

A 'Globalist' kind of guy. ;-)

Not sure about Volcker that is for sure.

But I like what Sen Coleman is doing.
