The Volcker investigation showed no guilt on behalf of the UN or any countries. It scolded the UN for not being tougher on oversight and possible conflicts of interest. The culprits were third party corporations acting as middlemen to broke deals with Saddam. And Saddam himself was very corrupt, of course. Corruption is a way of life in Iraq, so none of this is surprising. The rightwing has totally exaggerated UN corruption so as to cover up its own much bigger corruption. Under Bush, 9 billion is missing in Iraq, about 1 billion stolen by Halliburton and 10-30% of all Iraqi oil is being stolen before it can get to the market. Cheney's handpicked people are in charge of Iraqi oil. Do the simple math. Cheney's people are huge-huge crooks.
