UNSCAM

Roger Simon (Libertarian)

ABC News claims to have found a smoking gun in the UNSCUM/UNSCAM/Oil-for-Food Scandal that directly implicates Benon Sevan, the UN undersecretary general who ran the program for six years:...

...Kofi Annan has resisted investigating what is probably the biggest aid heist of all time...In this kind of situation, normally the media would be on his neck, calling for the most thorough investigation possible; but thus far, with the exception of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and a handful of others, they have been curiously silent. As a supporter of the United Nations (yes, I believe it necessary), I find this potentially immensely destructive to the organization. If the Oil-for-Food allegations are true, and it increasingly looks as if they are, without a deep and full bloodletting (probably including the resignation of Annan) the UN will never recover the confidence of the American people, nor should it. By not being on this with Watergate-style intensity, the media is aiding and abetting the downfall of the organization they wish to save...

...a blog entitled FRIENDS OF SADDAM has just been established to deal exclusively with this scandal...
