Volcker Committee resignations

I haven't blogged on this previously, as I have not had time to research the details. I pretty much assumed that they were protesting a cover-up, which is par for the course. Roger L. Simon has some good comments though:

The level of prevarication surrounding the recent resignation of investigators Robert Parton and Miranda Duncan from the Independent Inquiry Committee into the United Nations Oil-for-Food Programme is so great that even a blogger in farwaway Los Angeles can see that committee members responding to the resignations are lying through their teeth.

The U.N. must be accountable to the people of the world. Sadly, they seem to be completely unwilling to move in that direction.
