Back to the Oil for Food Scandal...
Over at the New York Sun's website, Claudia Rosett has another story on the Oil for Food Scandal, this time telling us that the next area of investigation that Congress is going to be focusing on is the relationship between the program's bank, the French (of course!) BNP Paribas, the UN, and Saddam Hussein. Apparently Hussein (along with ex-UN head Boutros Boutros-Ghali) hand-picked this bank. There are apparently several re-assigned Letters-of-Credit involved where the real identity of the ultimate assignee is in question. The possibility exists that the money might have ended up in terrorist's hands.
