Conflict of Interest

It's been known for some time that Kojo Annan, Kofi's son, was getting payments from a Swiss company contracted by the UN to monitor goods arriving in Iraq under the oil-for-food program. According to Claudia Rossett, he was recieving payments for much, much longer than anyone had thought - and Kofi Annan was, at the very least, wilfully blind to what was going on.

Something very funny was going on here, and it's too bad Rossett seems to be the only reporter who wants to get to the bottom of it.
