| EFL Monumental Rip-Off? Allegations of Widespread Corruption Involve Saddam Hussein, U.N. Senior Officials By Brian Ross April 20 — At least three senior United Nations officials are suspected of taking multimillion-dollar bribes from the Saddam Hussein regime, U.S. and European intelligence sources tell ABCNEWS the article goes on to retell the news that has been in RB and other blog resources for several months now. The real news is that a branch of Big Media is finally reporting it. Of course this is still just online. The breakthrough will be when Peter, Dan and Tom are forced to say the words ’UN scandal’ on the evening network broadcast. Incidentally here is yet another opportunity for Kerry to have a sister Souljah moment by denouncing UN Corruption |

| #4 Very interesting that ABC would report anything like this scandle. I did hear on their radio broadcast, on the half hour, yesterday that Malaysians have more sex in their bedrooms than other folks from around the world. Can you believe that. I was floored. What a slimey excuse for a news org. |

| #3 They did show this in TV last night - then even named that Sevor or whoever. But they implied that it was somehow the U.S. fault. Anna Koffie was not mentioned as being involved (or that his office was running the entire program at the end). No mention of Al-Qaeda or the fact that very little of the 'aid' was given to the actual Iraqi people. They never did link the mess that was in Iraq (no water, medicine, etc...) with this corrupt program. |

| #2 RC, No they don't mention the AlQ ties. They do list about 40 names (of the 300 or so that have been noted elsewhere) of people who received multimillion barrel oil trading rights. |
