Washington Times: Bremer says charge of blocking oil-for-food probe 'nonsense'

Former U.S. administrator in Iraq L. Paul Bremer dismissed charges that he tried to block an investigation in the $10 billion U.N. oil-for-food scandal as "utter and complete nonsense."
Mr. Bremer, who relinquished his post as the supreme authority in Iraq on Monday, said in an interview Thursday that he moved quickly to secure all records in Baghdad relating to the scandal and acted to head off what he said was a politicized investigation of the probe by the now-disbanded Iraqi Governing Council.

"It became clear to me that the investigation should be conducted by a nonpolitical body and the Governing Council was clearly thinking in terms of a political investigation," Mr. Bremer told reporters and editors of The Washington Times during an interview conducted at the Old Executive Office Building.

Mr. Bremer added, "The idea that I somehow stood in the way of this is utter and complete nonsense."
