Oil for Food Scandal

The allegation that Saddam Hussein gave bribes and kickbacks to the UN officials and other diplomats is beginning to unravel. As Josh Marshall notes:
that charge stems entirely from a series of documents discovered by members of Ahmed Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress.

Those documents have yet to be given to the Volcker investigation and may never be. Perhaps this criticism of the UN was premature.
