Volker has an independent streak in him. He will most likely uncover much more truth than Kofi will ever allow to become public. Volker is well respected. I don't perceive Volker's limits as being the problem. The problem that I perceive is Kofi's ability to squash the release of any information that does not reflect well upon him, his cronies, and the UN. Volker signed a deal with Kofi saying he would keep all info secret, and that he would report only to Kofi. The best we can hope for is that he or a staff member will become a Deep Throat. Most contracts had secrecy clauses, and Kofi is sitting on the other parties very hard. The UN knows this is a powder keg, and Kofi does not want it to blow while he is in the hot seat.
