Clinton and Oil-for-food

This may be preliminary, but it could be another scar for the Clinton administration:



NEW YORK – "They [the Clinton administration] knew of problems in the program and were informed on three separate occasions." So claims a central figure in the scandal-ridden U.N.-Iraq Oil-for-Food Program who himself has been accused of wrongdoing.



The article later says:



The references to both Albright's and Holbrooke's knowledge of Oil-for-Food problems, while not new, does mark the first time they have been specifically cited by central figures in the defunct U.N. operation.

During the period in question, officials at the U.S.-U.N. mission in New York City often asked reporters, "Is is a crime to steal from a crook?" (a reference to the regime of former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein).



We shall see what comes out about this.
