U.N. STALLING IRAQ GOV'T PROBE OF $ECRET OIL ACCT.

New York Post
U.N. bureaucrats are stonewalling requests from Iraq's new government for records from the scandal-plagued oil-for-food account set up in Saddam Hussein's handpicked French bank.

The mysterious activities over the handling of the U.N. account at the French banking giant BNP Paribas, where $100 billion worth of oil-for-food transactions flowed until the war, has emerged as a central focus of several investigations in the wake of the massive bribery-kickback scandal that has rocked the world body at its highest levels...

Instapundit is calling for a Congressional investigation of this scandal. UPDATE: Apparently Rep. Henry Hyde has scheduled one for next month.
