At the Kurdistan Regional Government's website I found this article by William Safire, which depressed me a bit. Yes I knew that France and Russia would try to prevent an investigation going forward since they were the origin of so many of the commercial interests that Saddam chose to deal with, but to read Safire quoting the Russians as saying

"We understand the reputation of the secretariat is in question, but we do not think it is possible to adopt a resolution on the basis of mass media reports"

is so outrageous you can only assume they're very confident of blocking their way out of this.

Maybe the reason they're so confident is because, as Safire says 'Our (US) State Department, eager for U.N. help in Iraq, wants no revelations of U.N. ineptitude and corruption.'

Which will suit Koffi & Son. And the BBC, whose coverage has been very unfriendly to the notion of any substantial scandal.
