(2005-03-29) — UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan receives good news today as the commission investigating the oil-for-food scandal will announce that Mr. Annan had “no clue” that Saddam Hussein had used the program to buy support for the eventual lifting of sanctions against Iraq.
“Mr. Annan is not implicated in the scandal, since he had, and continues to have, no idea what’s going on at the United Nations,” according to an unnamed source who has read a summary of the report. “There is no evidence that the Secretary-General is aware of the day-to-day operations of the organization. He is completely innocent.”
The report will also verify that Mr. Annan’s son, Kojo, deceived his father by telling him his high-paying job at a Swiss oil-for-food contractor was simply as a consultant, monitoring the production of humanitarian cheese.
