Trying To Preserve the Fixaroo

Paul Volcker is doing all he can to keep the coverup on the Oil for Food scandal. Unfortunately for him and Kofi Annan, he hire honorable people as investigators and now they're rebelling.
Volcker is now pleading with Congress to cooperate in the coverup.

Paul Volcker, the head of the U.N.-appointed panel probing the oil-for-food scandal, yesterday asked Congress to drop its efforts to force an investigator who resigned from the panel to testify about any top-level corruption at the world body.
Mr. Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman, warned the integrity of his investigation and the safety of witnesses interviewed by the committee both could be at stake if U.S. lawmakers follow through on subpoenas for Robert Parton's appearance.
Mr. Parton, a former FBI agent, and a fellow investigator quit Mr. Volcker's $30 million investigation last month to protest the soft treatment they felt was given to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Mr. Volcker also said the congressional committees probing the $10 billion Iraq oil-for-food scandal should immediately return more than a half-dozen boxes of documents Mr. Parton turned over to the House International Relations Committee Thursday in response to a subpoena.
"An overriding concern of the committee is to safeguard the security of witnesses whose lives, quite literally, would be at risk if information about their cooperation became known," Mr. Volcker told reporters at a press conference in New York.

Right now, it appears that all of us who doubted the UN's ability to investigate itself have been vindicated.
