FINALLY!!!! The CBC has the story
- Thread starter langeweile
- Start date
Saw the first part last night and was truely disgusted at the level contempt those involved had for what had transpired. Another nail in the coffin of an organization does that does more and more to make itself obsolete every day. But to be perfectly honest it's unrealistic to think an organization like the U.N. would be safe from corruption.
They need a major overhaul. Part 2 of this documentary is tonight.

I saw the first part last night as well, and was in shock at how easy it was for the people involved to get away with all of this. The testimony of the woman journalist now living in France and that also got an oil allocation was a good example. Quite a bunch of greedy deceiving people!

Cannot imagine how anyone arguing for sanctions imagined that there would be any other result. 'Permitted breaches' of any prohibition—like medically necessary marijuana today, or alcohol back in the twenties—just make it easier for the criminals to exploit the system. It's what criminals always do. And corrupting the cops has always been a favourite tool.
Don't enact sanctions unless you're prepared to enforce them every bit as vigourously as the crooks are going to work to supply that desperate market you just created. But there was a failure of will when the children of Iraq were shown starving on TV. What, someone thought Saddam would be the first to starve instead of last?
