Oil for Spoils: the story just keep getting better
The UN-Saddamite cesspool of corruption and influence peddling that was the Oil for Food "humanitarian" programme is revealing itself murkier and smellier (if that's at all possible) with every new page of documentary evidence turned over.
You've read before how the Hussein regime had turned this UN initiative into a shopping spree for foreign politicians and influential businesspeople - now emerges the possibility that some of the money might have been laundered through the programme to finance Islamist terrorists.
Now let's just get the people who were supervising the Oil for Fraud programme (the UN) and get them running the post-liberation Iraq. Fantastic idea, Messrs Kerry and Latham.
