The Quiet Oil For Food Scandal


Joshua Holland over at Alternet has written on the quiet, no silent, Oil For Food Scandal uncovered by the Volker Report. You know, the scandal popularized by conservative use in trying to undermine the credibility of the United Nations. Turns out that the actual scandal(you know, the facts) was that corporations (many of them US corporations) perpetrated the scandal, not the UN.
Real surprise there, huh?
Anyways, Holland gives a single page summary of the 630 page report and explores why we'll never get to the bottom of the scandal made popular by conservatives now that the real players have actually been fingered.

Note for politickos trolling for partisan red meat: Democrats and Republicans formed a bipartisan lawbreaking committee for this scandal.
