"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.

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.
