This is yet more support for the thesis that, in addition to being the biggest case in History of institutionalized corruption, Oil For Food was also the primary source of funding for Saddam's plans for WMD and his ability to re-arm in the face of sanctions, thereby setting the stage for the Insurgency that is costing countless US, Allied and Iraqi lives.

If true, from this the numerous co-conspirators in Oil For Food are guilty of far more than simple corruption and this fact makes the case for far more aggressive actions to root out and punish those involved.

The entire UN leadership who had anything to do with Oil-for-Food should be put on trial for supporting terrorism -- that is exactly what they were doing, by knowingly (there is no way they didn't know) allowing Saddam to divert billions.
