McFly, I saw on one of this Sunday’s news shows (Meet the Press?) about the Oil for Food program. Apparently several countries, including the some European and even the US had people involved in the corruption going on. As to the extent of the US involvement is unclear at this time. They hope to find out more.
The worst offender, besides Saddam appears to be the UN Assistant Secretary-General Benon V. Sevan.
Here what abc news said.Here is an interesting Article. My opinion is that the free world needs to stop this kind of BS. How can we find a common ground with the Arab world when we do this kind of thing? Those who participated in this scandal need to be punished in front of Arab eyes, for they were just as bad a Saddam. Perhaps the UN needs a watchdog to keep them on the right path.
