When is Claudia Rosett up for her Pulitzer? The link above is her latest expose (which includes information from the piece she co-wrote for Fox News). Rosett has been carrying the reportorial load on this story, a story of UN corruption, political failure, ineptitude and colluding with dictators that deserves much more press than it has received. The Oil for Food scandal is just another mark against the UN on a slate that is far from clean.
And be sure to read Robert Conquest's eulogy of Nikolai Getman, who portrayed the depradations in the Gulag system that Saddam's idol, Josef Stalin, created. See here for a funny anecdote about Conquest.
