And why doesn't he discuss some of the "illegalities" he's familiar with, namely the involvement of he and his son in manipulating relief contracts paid for via the Oil For Food program?

I have a better idea. Let's compare Kofi Annan and his son to that of the United States Government and US contractors. Let's see who the bigger criminals are.

The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations assigned to investigate the scandal has also concluded that

"The United States (government) was not only aware of Iraqi oil sales which violated UN sanctions and provided the bulk of the illicit money Saddam Hussein obtained from circumventing UN sanctions. On occasion, the United States actually facilitated the illicit oil sales."

The report also found that individuals and companies in the United States accounted for 52% of all oil-voucher kickbacks paid to Saddam Hussein.

Your turn. Fill in what Kofi and his son did in detail and let's compare.
