I'm not sure the Bush administration is ideally placed to be pointing the finger at other folks' scandals in Iraq right now One can also say the reverse. But there is not the same appetite to go after a UN scandal as a Halliburton scandal, even when the former is many orders of magnitude greater than the latter.

I'm not sure the Bush administration is ideally placed to be pointing the finger at other folks' scandals in Iraq right now... Well, I'd like to see the evidence of Cheney's fingerprints on it.. And the investigation has definitely uncovered some scandalous activities and DOD has been withholding payment over those contested charges.. But as Nadine stated, I'm not so sure we're going to see the same level of attention, or punishment, metted out to the UN. What say you Tekboy? Hawk
