I've been doing some of my own UN oil for food scandal investigation, and I ran across this blog...good information and up to date. So far FOX is the only news station covering it..

"New York Post" asks questions
Where is the NYT's

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan's problems extend be yond that congressional investigation of the gargantuan Oil-For-Food ripoff and related ethical lapses.

Now it turns out that even the people who work for him don't trust him. (Maybe that shouldn't be surprising. After all, they know him best.)

This was the second time in two weeks that Annan has refused to take action against a senior official Dileep Nair accused of harassment.

And the "review" of Dileep Nair's conduct hardly means anything. After all, it was just last month that it came to light that Annan crony Benon Savan — who had been in charge of the now-scandalous Oil-for-Food program — previously ran a relief operation for war-torn Afghanistan in the 1980s and '90s. U.N. audits subsequently discovered that that program was riddled with waste, fraud and abuse — just like the Oil-for-Food program.

Savan suffered no career consequences for the Afghan shenanigans — and Annan certainly seems to be doing his level best to keep his buddy off the Oil-for-Food hook.
