Let's see 'em!
Looks like Congress has some potentially damning info on Kofi Annan's role in the whole Oil for Food scandal. I don't know what to make of this, but something was serious enough to get Robert Patton to resign from Volcker's committee. I hope these documents see the light of day and that this story doesn't simply disappear.
Documents potentially devastating to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan were handed over yesterday to a congressional committee in an explosive new development in the U.N. oil-for- food scandal.House International Relations Committee Chairman Henry Hyde (R-Ill.) announced that Robert Parton, who resigned in protest from the investigation headed by Paul Volcker, had complied with the panel's subpoena.
Parton, who claimed Volcker probers had been too soft on Annan in their last report, turned over boxes of documents on Annan's son, Kojo.
He also provided two drafts far more critical of Kofi Annan than last month's final report, sources told The Post.

The chickens are coming home to roost. I hope Kofi is packing his bags.

I hope to whatever diety you might want to claim that these documents see the light of day. And the more that Voker and Annon fight to get them back the more I think they hold explosive info. I'm just afraid that our courts - OUR COURTS - might rule that this overgrown NGO has more authority than the US Government.
