#1 Hmmm.... Canadian. With a French name. And Chretien and Chiraq are related by marriage. As are many, many of the French Canadians, often many times over.

#2 I don't see any comments from Mike Sylwester. This seems on the surface to be very damning. I lost any confidence in the UN when the "Peacekeepers" were withdrawn from the Sinai back in 1973 and I believe it has gone downhill from there.

#3 Once again our "friends" to the north have been helpful. One wonders how many Iraqi people might be alive today if not for Ms. Frechette's phone call. With helpful persons like this one needs no enemies.

The "important US citizens" that met with Kofi in New York early this year to council bear a close inspection as well.

#4 Among other things, that audit found that Sevan had failed to hold any management meetings of his Oil-for-Food team for the previous two years. It remains to be explained how that fact had escaped the attention of Sevanâs direct supervisor, Deputy Secretary-General Louise Frechette, or that of Kofi Annan himself.

I'm sure a suitable excuse will be found and put forth. And it'll likely be one that puts the lion's share (if not all) of the blame on someone else besides Goo-fi.

#5 Can our legal experts help us out?

Does it not mean when income triples that some kind of fraud could be taking place, and therefore warrent an investigation by the FBI? We are now privvy to information that fraud could have taken place on US soil and to ignore such fraud is abdicating responsibilities mandated to US Attornies?
