UNITED NATIONS — Republican lawmakers yesterday expressed suspicions that as part of the Bush administration's attempts at diplomacy with North Korea, the State Department may have tried to cover up some Senate findings about the misuse of U.N. development funds by the communist regime of Kim Jong Il.
A Senate investigation, which detailed the North Korean government's manipulations of the U.N. Development Program and the use of its facilities as a backdoor channel for moving funds around the globe, also led some lawmakers to question America's contribution for the flagship development arm of the United Nations.
During a hearing yesterday of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Senator Coburn, a Republican of Oklahoma, aired a suspicion that the State Department had tried to cover up some damning findings in the subcommittee's UNDP report in order to preserve the diplomatic process with Pyongyang, known as the six-party talks.

Not the first time this happened in Foggy Bottom, I suspect, though.
I would be more surprised if it was an UN fund without misuse. ;-)
THEN watch the FUN begin!
Seriously, this should be released to the public. I dont care if the Elephants or the Donkeys occupy the White House, either one. They have been corrupt in their appeasement of North Korea. Conservatives in the House and Senate had better stand up.
Rice and Hill are in great trouble. The Conservatives in the Deaprtment of State, and within the administration are starting to rock the boat. Let’s see if Rice and Hill, and the remaining liberals in the Department of State will not fall off this boat.
AMEN
A conservative revolution is required on the Hill, in D.C., to clean out the cesspool.... Old “Lame Duck” has done little in seven years to clean out that cesspit of snakes.....maybe REAL conservatives will pick up where the RINOs have abjectly failed.
Turn the Sunshine on the NoKo, Syria and State Dept axis of idiotcy and evil.
If I were Duncan Hunter, that is what I would do in my final year in Congress. What has he got to lose. I say subpoena State Department officials before the Congress. Let’s get this ball rolling on the Bush Administration and North Korea.
I share your outrage.
The State Dept has been communist leaning for many years, from what I have read......
My opinion of course.
