Companies, politicians and pro-Saddam Hussein activists from countries that opposed the war in Iraq figure heavily in a list of about 270 recipients of suspected oil bribes from Iraq under the scandal-plagued United Nations oil-for-food program, investigators say.
The Russian government, a former French ambassador to the United Nations, the son of Syria's defense minister and the U.N. undersecretary charged with running the oil-for-food program were included on the list compiled by Iraq's state oil ministry under Saddam and published by a Baghdad newspaper in late January.

Is it the guy who met with Tariq Aziz before the beginning of the war, by chance?

Hey David, here is the Catholic church connection you have been asking about.

There is a French Priest named "Father Benjamin" who reportedly arranged the Aziz meeting. And he was on the list.
FB has a website. He's kind of loopy - I bet there's higher connections than he.

Mr. Annan, yesterday on NBC's "Meet the Press," said any U.N. staff member found to have participated in corruption "will be dealt with severely."
"Their privileges and immunities will be lifted so that, if necessary, they will be brought before the court of law and dealt with, in addition to being dismissed," he said. This makes a nice sound bite, but actions speak louder then words.
I will be hugely surprised if anyone significant is touched by investigations into this UN scam, the biggest scam in history.

Just curious, but has "the list" of name been published ANYWHERE except in Baghdad?
I'd love to have a copy!

Here the brain fart you requested back on 1-28-04
The voucher list includes... advisor to Pope Paul II. He had to be a religious advisor or they would not have mention the pope by name.
Enjoy!!!
