Oil For Food Scandal Update

Roger L. Simon has shown in the last week what blogging truly can become. He is reporting what is happening and not linking to MSM reports. He has some new information:

Meanwhile, Adrian Gonzalez has informed me that he was misquoted to some degree by the Telegraph. Gonzalez, the attorney for former Kojo Annan business partner Pierre Mousselli, says he has not spoken directly with Parton in some days and that Telegraph has exaggerated their report to some degree. Parton, Gonzalez believes, would not be so explicit in his criticisms. The reference to the "de facto coverup" were Gonzalez's words, not Parton's, although they may reflect the resigned investigator's feelings. In fact, in the end they don't seem so it odds with what what the investigator already told the Associated Press. He resigned "on principle."

However you parse this, the Volcker Committee is a now an unmitigated disaster. Just as it is ludicrous to think that Kofi Annan is the one to reform the United Nations, it is ludicrous to think this committee (has) the means to investigate the scandal.

How Annan has survived to this point is amazing and clearly shows that the almost daily happenings at the UN are a glaring example of just how rotten things are under Annan's leadership.
