Come on JJ. This article hardly covered any of the bribes, corruption & widespread abuse. This was a puff piece at best. The article you linked started off this way..... Secretary General Kofi Annan struck back today at critics of the United Nations and his leadership, saying they were treating unproven charges as facts and ignoring the good that the oil-for- food program had done for individual Iraqis despite its scandal-ridden management. The NYT continues to defend the Oil-for-Bribes/Palaces/Illegal Weapons scandal for the first seven paragraphs before the first minor hint of what has been widely reported..... According to the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of the United States Congress, Saddam Hussein's government skimmed $10.1 billion from the $67 billion program. Then it goes right back to defending the UN, France, Russia & those other liars & crooks.
