In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, intelligence

is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.

Oil for Bribes Program and the UN

If this story about the Oil for Food Program scandal is interesting to you, go read the in depth reporting Claudia Rosett has done on this story. She has been doing the heavy lifting in uncovering much of what is currently known about the scandal and the involvement of the UN and Kofi Annan. Kofi is up to his diplomatic pouch in this scandal, IMO. Maybe if the International Criminal Court went after Kofi, critics like me would have less ammunition against them.

BTW, Claudia has a great article today about America standing on principle instead of worring that the world won't love us. Maybe I'll email it to John Kerry. Nah. Why waste the electrons.
