Raise your hand if you seriously believe that Paul Volcker will get to the bottom of the oil for food scandal. Not too many hands out there.

There is way to much to cover up for way too many people and countries this will be like hunting for OBL not likely to find anything.

True, but BCCI scandal was similar in that 'ghost' organizations were part of the scheme, and even though it took a long time, the scum at the bottom was eventually uncovered. In fact, one person involved in that scandal has been linked to the Oil for Food Dollars game. That'd be Marc Rich of Clinton pardon fame. I'd even speculate that a certain tea-sipping CIA husband has his greedy hand in both as well.

Read this; it's interesting: The BCCI Affair

1. BCCI CONSTITUTED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CRIME ON A MASSIVE AND GLOBAL SCALE.
2. BCCI SYSTEMATICALLY BRIBED WORLD LEADERS AND POLITICAL FIGURES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
...
4. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT MISHANDLED ITS INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION OF BCCI, AND ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES CONCERNING BCCI.
...
7. THE CIA DEVELOPED IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON BCCI, AND INADVERTENTLY FAILED TO PROVIDE IT TO THOSE WHO COULD USE IT.

THE CIA AND FORMER CIA OFFICIALS HAD A FAR WIDER RANGE OF CONTACTS AND LINKS TO BCCI AND BCCI SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, AND CUSTOMERS, THAN HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE CIA.
