Annan in new oil-for-food probe
BBC ^
Posted on 06/14/2005 11:06:39 AM PDT by Alex Marko
The Iraq oil-for-food inquiry is reviewing new information about the UN secretary-general's alleged links with a firm hired to monitor the programme. A memo by Swiss firm Cotecna published this week describes a meeting between Kofi Annan and its executives in 1998, weeks before the contract was awarded.
Mr Annan has denied prior knowledge of Cotecna's bid for the contract, though his son worked there as a consultant.
A previous inquiry report found that the UN head had not helped Cotecna.

Only a fool would think that he didn't -- how could he have not known what was going on. To argue he did not, you would have to argue he wasn't smart enough for SG.
If the lefties want a conspiracy to sink their teeth in, they should try what would have happened if the Security Council and member states were not accepting oil for WMD bribes. A rich fertile field to plow.

CNN has a copy of the "report" they are showing. It's from 1998 it seems. Kofi Annan's mouthpiece denying it. Kojo has not been cooperating with the Volker committee investigating it.

In the old days the Democrats from the 6th ward would be following the orders of Tammany Hall and would be attacking the U.N. Building with cobblestones, pistols, torches and carrying a good long length of hemp. That used to be their style when their leaders didn't get their cut.

Without a corrupt leader, the U.N. wouldn't know what to do with itself.

Does Congress still have the documents that Volcker has demanded back?

Volcker is apparently part of the conspiracy.

Anan will get the same justice that Michael Jackson got yesterday.
Nothing will happen to him. Anyone who uses hard and solid evidence against him is an evil racist.
