Guilt peddler Former President Bill Clinton says U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan picked him as the U.N. envoy for the Indian Ocean tsunami recovery to heap guilt on nations that have pledged money but not paid up. "He thought I could guilt-peddle my former colleagues better than anyone else he could think of," Mr. Clinton said at a conference at the United Nations in New York aimed at boosting private efforts to help with future disaster relief worldwide. "Countries have a notorious reputation for committing massive amounts of money when people are dying on television -- and then when the TV cameras turn off, they don't give the money," Mr. Clinton said. About $2 billion of the roughly $6.7 billion pledged after the Dec. 26 tsunami, which left about 300,00 people dead or missing in a dozen countries, is in the pipeline, a U.N. relief spokeswoman told Agence France-Presse.
