Riza should be getting Annan's thanks. All that shredding saved Kofi's crooked little ass.

The shysterism of the UN knows no bounds!

[angkor]

Al Capone clears Meyer Lansky!

[TYVets]

"UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has cleared his former chief of staff, Iqbal Riza,,,,"

That and a dime will still not buy a cup of coffee in this part of the world.

Shysterism is the right word to describe the Annan - Clintons era.

[endthematrix]

Mr Riza, 70, resigned at the end of last year...

I wonder what type of golden parachute he got.

It's Volcker I don't trust. Never have.

If you aren't informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.

Annan clears former chief of staff

Who cares?

The UN has zero credibility as far as I am concerned and I am holding it against any politician who agrees to fund this circus freak show.

Reminds me of the B.I.G. Lyric:

(How ya livin Biggie Smalls?) I'm surrounded by criminals,
Heavy rollers and sheisty individuals.

They are more full of sh-t than a Christmas Turkey, and hopefully this travesty will not go away based on the phony Volcker Report and an "internal investigation". These people need to be exposed as crooks and thieves.
