Texas Oil for Food

Just thinking over how it's funny that the U.S. was up in arms over the U.N. oil for food scandal, but they were never outraged enough to trace the corruption to its source:

Oscar S. Wyatt Jr., the flamboyant Texas oil trader who flaunted his close ties to the regime of Saddam Hussein, was indicted yesterday in federal court in New York on charges that he paid millions of dollars in kickbacks to the regime to sell Iraqi oil under a United Nations program.


I can hear the wingnuts now: He was charged in NY, that's where corruption is!
