"Four Charged in U.N. Oil-For-Food Scandal"

Geez.

It pains me to see that Americans, fellow Americans, were involved in the oil-for-food debacle. Bastards.

One of the indictments announced Thursday charges a Texas oil company owner and two oil traders with paying millions in secret kickbacks to Saddam's regime to secure oil deals, thus cheating the program out of money for humanitarian aid.

The fourth person charged was Tongsun Park, a South Korean citizen and fugitive who allegedly accepted millions of dollars from the Iraqi government while he operated in the United States as an unregistered agent for Baghdad.
