Annan...Coleman is going to chew you up and spit you out.
Cotecna replaced Lloyd's Register about the same time Annan replaced Boutros-Ghali, if I recall correctly. I think Oil For Food was a planned scam from the get-go.
Senator Coleman was on the local radio this morning and GUARANTEED that Kofi Annan will not finish his term
In the March interview, Kofi Annan said he did in fact remember a "brief encounter" he had in Durban with his son and a friend, whom he described as a Lebanese businessman whose first name might have been Pierre.
But despite his own calendar notation, the elder Annan insisted he still could not recall having lunch, the last name of the friend or any discussion of his son's business endeavors during the encounter.
The final report also excluded detailed testimony from Mouselli that he and the Annans discussed their interest in Iraq business. "We discussed Iraq," Mouselli told the AP in an interview this week. "We discussed about even my way to go to Iraq. ... We were joking if Kojo wants to come."
Is this as bad as I think it is?
If ever there was a guarantee I'd like to hold someone to, it's that one!
Dare he invoke the Josh Steiner defense?
I think you are correct with that timing. It's about time for all the roaches to scatter.
"Annan's omissions last November raised credibility concerns with the chief investigator, Robert Parton...."
That's because any investigator worth spit (which Volcker is not!) would understand that failing to volunteer such info when supposedly "fully cooperating" with the investigation means that Annan was stonewalling and would only provide information when absolutely forced to by revelations from other sources.... how many other key items would Annan conveniently 'forget' unless confronted with evidence from other sources??? And how many key facts are STILL not accessible because only Annan and a few other stonewallers are aware of them?
Why do you consider this bad news?
Every time I think I cannot be more disgusted at the corruption at the UN, I am. This is a sick, morally-bankrupt bunch and they are all just a joke. Sen.Coleman remains in my prayers.
And for Volcker, IMHO---
'Why do you consider this bad news? Bad news for Kofi'
Makes sense. By Monday they hope everyone will have missed it.
Does he have some skeletons?
Whatever it is, it must be quite serious for he has destroyed a sterling reputation over this.
Kofi's son got chump change. Kofi must have millions in numbered accounts from Saddam and other Arabs such as the Saudis. Kofi has done the work for the Arab bloc for years.
I posted a PDF file of a letter sent by Pierre Mouselli's lawyer to Paul Volker on this matter. Heres the post:

After you read it you can see Volker and the IIC is not to be trusted to get to the truth.
I think its going to backfire on Volker big time in the long run.
