U.N. BIGS 'SEAL' THE OIL DEALS

NY Post
Is the UN a Reactionary Institution?
The United Nations yesterday threw up a stone wall in the oil-for-food scandal, insisting that contracts between the world body and private companies should not be turned over to investigators.

In a defiant move that has infuriated probers, Secretary-General Kofi Annan threw his support behind a letter from former oil-for-food head Benon Sevan to officials of a Dutch company that inspected Iraqi oil shipments. The letter directed the company not to hand over documents to congressional committees and other "governmental authorities."
The enemies of the UN will use the UNSCAM scandal to discredit everyone who supports international institutions. In order to regain credibility, the UN has to stop stonewalling the investigations into this matter.
