NEW YORK (AP) -- Investigators probing claims of wrongdoing in the Iraq oil-for-food program accused its former chief, Benon Sevan, of taking illegal kickbacks and recommended his immunity be lifted for prosecution.
The investigators said a former U.N. procurement officer sought a bribe and should have his immunity lifted as well. Alexander Yakovlev also was accused of collecting nearly $1 million in kickbacks outside the oil-for-food program."

Oil for Food Scandal Back!
Investigators allege oil-for-food kickbacks, what a shock and outrage - right, like this is new news. Maybe it is official now but U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan will go unscathed, of course. I would like to remind you that this is the organization that Kerry, Kennedy, and crowd want us to depend on for our safety and are so concerned about "what they (UN) think" - I don't think so.
