Business as usual for the corrupt UN. America is one of the few countries that actually tries to fight corruption, most people in the world are just fine with it.

The latest on how the UN Oil for Food was feeding all the wrong people and not the poor Iraqis.

This is beginning to come out in England. When will the US media admit that the UN isn't perfect?

FOX had a sound bite from the Oil for food program's Bevan Sevan tonight. Sevan said the program had been audited over 100 times and that Security Council members got reports. If this is true, then I'd say a whole nother can of worms has been opened up....

Here's the UN's offical statement on audits. It's about a third of the way down the page. Mentions an independent, external board and an internal board (yeah, right). But doesn't name any names. Inquiring minds want to know.

Good! I couldn't believe that you were passing up all of these great targets of opportunity to "Bomb" the UN.

This story must not be allowed to die because the left wing mediots refuse to carry it.
