 Recently, some United States Republicans -- by which I mean the Bush
administration -- have been sharply criticizing United Nations
Secretary-General Kofi Annan for
improperly overseeing the so-called oil-for-food program in Iraq during
the 1990s, having torn themselves away from improperly overseeing the
so-called bombs-for-freedom program in
Iraq today. During this time, Kofi's son
Kojo scored a $30,000 a year gig working for one of the
subcontractors overseeing the program. Kojo didn't lie about working
there, but did weasel around how long he was at the company,
Swiss-based Cotecna. Apart from sounding
like a personal injury law firm, Kofi,
Kojo, and Cotecna's involvement in this matter has some Republicans
like Congressman Scott Garrett, Senator Norm Coleman, and 20 others in
the House -- by which I mean the White House -- questioning whether
Kofi should be hauled off to gitmo for a
bit o'state-sanctioned torture or just suffer an "inspired act of god." |
