NEW YORK — How widespread is the corruption at the United Nations? The multibillion-dollar Iraq Oil-for-Food (search) scandal was just the beginning.

Now the issue is becoming the scale of corruption in the U.N.'s normal operations — and which individuals and corporations are reaping the benefits of a network of bribery and conspiracy that investigators have just begun to uncover. So far, those identities are still a mystery — but perhaps not for much longer.

Good to see that Claudia Rosett is still on the UN's case.

"and which individuals and corporations are reaping the benefits of a network of bribery and conspiracy that investigators have just begun to uncover"

Bolton rocks! Go get 'em tiger!

[edcoil]

Are you speaking of our local, state or fed government or the UN.

At least the UN doesn't force us to pay taxes, it just robs our government of the funds.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Are you an advocate of "voluntary" taxes?

[MamaLucci]

Yep........no wonder the UN lackeys in Congress
fought his nomination so vehemently. Bolton is obviously lifting up a lot of rocks;
heaven only knows what will slither out.....

[Rosemont]

Chris Dodd/ Joe Biden = UN lackeys.

[edcoil]

Yes

[chrispycsuf]

the un

[chrispycsuf]

the un...and our tax money IS going to fund them...so they do inevitably tax us

[justshutupandtakeit]

Then you cannot be taken seriously in such important matters.

Claudia Rosett is a national treasure; she and the WSJ were the only ones pursuing this for the longest time until FoxNews picked up the ball.

And where are the crack investigative reporters from the other major media organs? Typically there comes a point in news stories that the MSM would prefer not to cover where they essentially are forced to pay attention because the story gets so big that to continue to ignore it makes their biases plain to a lot more people; that the MSM continues to do their best to ignore this scandal at this point really shows how high the stakes are to them when it comes to their beloved UN.

[edcoil]

No it appears can you if that is your only criteria.

Nor it appears can you if that is your only criteria.

......that the MSM continues to do their best to ignore this scandal at this point really shows how high the stakes are to them when it comes to their beloved UN.

Exactly..........as the UN goes, so goes their crazy dream of socialist utopia.

[justshutupandtakeit]

I have not said anything that foolish wrt this issue hence my credibility in unimpaired.

Did you also resist eating the wholesome food your Mom told you you must eat just because you didn't like the taste too.

How can you fund the military without compulsory taxation?
