A UN Scandal? Whodathunkit?

It appears that the son of Secretary-General Kofi Annan made a small fortune in the Iraqi food-for-oil sanction/scam.

According to published reports, Kojo Annan continued to receive payments for services rendered for 4 years longer than the program itself existed!

Of course, a UN spokesman states that all of this was legal. According to Fred Eckhard, Kojo Annan was "under an open-ended, no-compete contract." The payments assured that Kojo would not leave the company and seek employment with a competing firm.

And people look at our problems with Halliburton and cry "foul?"

Ah, well,...off to MataHarley's blog to see if she's onto this story yet!
