What's in this WaPo story on the Volker report that, it seems to me, has to be in any fair story on the report? Although Kofi is exonerated from any wrongdoing (while it looks like his son is not quite so clean) his Chief of Staff started shredding documents the day after the investigation began.

By the way, the shredding (mentioned by Fox, ABC and NBC, but not by CBS last night) apparently went on for seven months. (Those must really have been stuffed files.) But there's one delicious detail only Fox had:

<<<

As for Riza, the IIC found that he allowed documents of potential relevance to the Volcker investigation to be shredded by his staff even though he was aware of the ongoing probe. The shredding occurred just 10 days after he wrote to the heads of the nine U.N.-related agencies that administered Oil-for-Food in northern Iraq to suggest they cooperate with the investigation and "take all necessary steps to collect, preserve and secure all files, records and documents" relating to the program.

Riza claims neither he nor his staff ever destroyed any papers relating to the program and that he didn't know the shredding was going on for a long period of time.
