I thought that was informative on the politics behind Butler's removal, too. That Oil for Food scam sure seems to have a lot of layers to it.
Christie, thought you might be interested in this thread as well.
I had always respected Butler for some time, and was more than surprised to see that he was relieved of his duties.
It seemed that he was being blamed for something at the time, and of course with the state of the old media, and no FR (!) to get behind the story, it was confusing to me, so now I'm pleased to see that he was in fact the decent man I thought all along.
Just can't wait to see what else we find out down the road about this percolating scandal.
Thanks. Bookmark to read later.
