#1 Paul Volcker, a member of the Establishment. Whoda thunk it?

I have a hard time believeing that after a career that has few equals, only Marshall and Eisenhower come to mind, Volcker is going to take a dive for the likes of Kofi and the UN. I'll wait till the report comes out and if that's not satisfactory, I''ll wonder why; but it'll be tough to get me to believe Volcker did something that was not in the nation's interest.

#2 Conflicts of Interest and Institutional Corruption

The moment I saw this in the headline list, it wasn't necessary to read the article to figure out what it was all about. It practically screamed, "UN!! Kofi Annan!!"

#3 Mrs. D, Volcker is not representing the US in this matter. He is an observer of the International Community (TM). His office for the investigation is at UN HQ. His business cards have the UN logo on them.

#5 Volcker will issue a report. Not indictments or arrest warrants or recommendations for same. And that report, like the 9/11 report, will largely contain vague references to the obvious, concluding in a set of "war-is-bad-for-living-things" banalities. Which will allow hte MSM to declare the matter finished and urge everyone to MoveOn
