UNSCAM UPDATE:

For six months, I have insisted that Annan be held accountable for the U.N.’s gross mismanagement of the Oil-for-Food Program. Last week, the U.N.’s own investigators issued a report criticizing Annan’s own conduct — including his failure to resolve a serious conflict of interest concerning his son — and the conduct of his chief of staff.

The Volcker report did not “exonerate” Annan, as many have claimed; to the contrary, it pointed the finger directly at him. Indeed, one member of Volcker’s committee, Mark Pieth, made that point loud and clear: “We did not exonerate Kofi Annan.”

With that in mind, I reiterate my call for Annan’s resignation.

That’s from Sen. Norm Coleman.
