U.N. investigators have turned over to Congress boxes of evidence on the Oil-for-Food program, including "proof" that U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan lied to the Independent Inquiry Committee probing the scandal, Fox News Channel reporter Jonathan Hunt said Thursday.
"One source close to the case told me that in those boxes is the ammunition to prove that Kofi Annan lied to investigators," Hunt told Fox News Radio host Tony Snow. "So this is a very dramatic development indeed."

Hunt said the documents had been in the possession of U.N. investigator Robert Parton, who resigned from the probe two weeks ago charging that Annan was being let off the hook. "The boxes contain the almost complete records of Parton's investigation," Hunt told Snow, explaining, "It looks very embarrassing for Kofi Annan right now - it's a very bad thing."
Congress has been trying to talk to Parton and another prober, Miranda Duncan, since they resigned, Fox News reported on its Web site. But Paul Volcker, who heads the Oil-for-Food probe, tried to block their testimony, insisting the duo had diplomatic immunity.
Sen. Norm Coleman, who chairs the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, said he's prepared to issue subpoenas that would force Parton and Duncan to testify over Volcker's objections.
I am shocked. Shocked. :-|
I really wonder where this story would be today if Jonathan "pit bull" Hunt hadn't been assigned to the story.....
When an anti-American, neocommunist lies, how can you tell?
This could mean a -2% reduction in US dues next year to the UN. (from the 10% increase already allocated)
Norm's a bulldog.
All my Illusions are destroyed..... </sarcasm>
So does that make it a 'cut'? Will the Dems filibuster that?
Corrupt bastards covering for corrupt bastards covering for bastards trying to kill us....
Put Coffee Anus on trial, with his son and all the "executives" in the U.N. with blood money on their hands....
If they attempt to hide behind "Diplomatic Immunity" -- we should leave the U.N. and evict ALL the U.N. clowns from America.
Semper Fi

So why was Paul playing nice and who told him to???
NEW WORLD PLACE-YOUR-ORDER
If their mouth is moving...they're lying.
"NEW WORLD PLACE-YOUR-ORDER"
THIS WORLD: OUT OF ORDER
Well, this is going to make that old fart Paul Volcker look just swell.
Looks like the docs in question have already been turned over to Congress:

But Diplomatic Immutity" means you can't be forced to testify. It doesn't stop you from testifying voluntarily.
It looks to me like one or both of them are cooperating.
Even if Annan is caught in an out and out outrageous lie, what does it matter? His friends in the UN will find some excuse for him anyway. That's the problem with "world government" by irresponsible nations.
hey any news on the case of the dead security guard found months ago in the u.n. building?
