UNSCAM UPDATE: Claudia Rosett was right — it’s not just an oil-for-food scandal, but an oil-for-terror scandal:

American officials believe that millions of dollars Saddam Hussein skimmed from the scandal-plagued U.N. oil-for-food program are now being used to help fund the bloody rebel campaign against U.S. forces and the new Iraqi government, The Post has learned.

U.S. intelligence officials and congressional investigators said last night that the “oil-for-insurgency link” has been recently unearthed in the numerous probes now under way into the giant U.N. humanitarian program, in which Saddam is believed to have pocketed $10.1 billion through oil smuggling and kickbacks from suppliers.

We should send Kofi a bill. And somebody should send Rosett a Pulitzer as she’s been consistently ahead on this story.
