NEW YORK — FOX News offered a response to a United Nations letter that raised questions about a series on the U.N. Oil-for-Food program that aired Sept. 19 on "Breaking Point."

The FOX News response follows. To read United Nations' response, click here.

FOX News producers of the documentary “United Nations Blood Money” defended the show against U.N. criticism and stood firmly behind the accuracy and fairness of their “Breaking Point” investigation.

The FOX investigation looked at the ways the $100 billion Oil-for-Food scheme had been fleeced by Saddam Hussein, possibly influenced U.N. Security Council decisions to refuse to wage war against Saddam and might have funneled money to current Iraqi insurgents and perhaps to Al Qaeda.

It took the UN ten days to respond to the FOX show. Wonder if they will respond to this article.

FOX'S report on the "Oil for Food scandal" is an example of JOURNALISM. See BS and the rest of the MSM should take a lesson.

I hope FOX does more in depth coverage of the scandal. If I had one criticism, it was that they packed so much information into the hour. In the future they should take as much time as they need to explain the story i.e. have Breaking Point go 2 hours, or divide the report into several segments showing over a few nights or weeks. "Oil for Food" scandal is very complex. I had to watch my tape of FOX's report twice to take in all the information they presented.

With that said, they did an excellent job.
