I do, BM... Ironically, here is the authors conclusion: (note: this is under the sub-heading of The Scandal Pimps) Seeing a right-wing smear campaign against the U.N., progressives -- and Congressional Democrats -- have shown little appetite to investigate the OFF program. The unfortunate result is that there are half a dozen congressional investigations led by Republicans whose committees will focus primarily on the U.N.'s "systemic" problems, not on the corporations that paid dubious "surcharges" to the Iraqi regime. There's no reason to shy away from the real OFF scandal: a scam linking greasy oil barons, multinational corporate raiders and money-laundering bankers to one of the most brutal dictators of recent memory. We'll never know the details of that scam if we don't start asking the hard questions. Failing that, the investigations will drag on, lead to nothing and eventually die. Then, only conservatives' "proof" of U.N. duplicity will remain. So this article is really about a vast right-wing conspiracy. This nothing more then a biased opinion piece; and not very convincing at that. Diz-
