Under the headline “UN’s Good Name Tarnished” (HAH!):

Is the United Nations damaged beyond repair? Evidence of double-dealing in the Iraq oil-for-food scandal is stacking up by the week, and more and more of the organization’s officials are being implicated.

It was just two weeks ago, in a rented suite of offices on the 15th floor of an anonymous Manhattan office block, that Benon Sevan finally discovered that his story would not hold. For months, the burly, bristling Armenian-Cypriot, known within the United Nations for both his bonhomie and bad temper, had insisted that the talk of oil deals with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and strange petroleum companies in Panama had nothing to do with him.

And in another article in the same paper:

While it is certainly true that Saddam began flouting sanctions long before the program was created in late 1996, Mr. Annan’s defenders overlook the reality that the problem became much worse between 1997 and 2003 as a result of policies instituted by Mr. Annan. Claudia Rosett of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies notes that in January 1997, when Mr. Annan became secretary-general, Oil for Food was just a temporary program, permitting Saddam to sell limited amounts of oil in order to purchase relief supplies for Iraqis. But Mr. Annan successfully recommended that the Security Council expand the program — and with it Saddam’s ability to amass illicit revenues in order to bribe journalists and foreign politicians, and possibly finance terrorism and reconstitute his weapons programs.
