O'Reilly's working on the U.N. More work needs to be done. Thanks for the excellent article.

It's all our fault, of course. The UN had to skim money to make up for the US shortfall in funding. We were illegally holding payments back, and there's the additional amount we should have been paying based on our impact on the environment and consumption of resources. It adds up to just about the amount missing from the program.

O'Reilly's working on the U.N.

And he's doing a horrible job. I've seen him do two spots on Oil-for-Food; in the first, all he kept saying is "nobody got any aid." (Not true -- some got aid, but not nearly what they should have gotten.) In the second one last night, he had a (barely understandable) U.N. official on spewing numbers on expenditures, which didn't add up to proceeds, and instead of pointing that out, he again spouted "they didn't get any aid."

He is doing a really lame job with this; at the very least he should refer to Rosett and Safire's research, but it seems that he hasn't read anything on the subject, since he's not making any intelligent comments.
