The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: Kofigate Gets Going

If Safire's allegations and insinuations are true, this scandal has the potential to blow apart any remaining UN credibility as a trusted institution. If leadership at the UN were skimming or allowing billions to be skimmed from the Iraq Oil for Food program, they do not deserve any confidence to manage world affairs. If the allegations are true, many important world figures and institutions likely will be implicated.

Why isn't the media digging out the dirt on this one? Could it be that the media think this too disruptive to liberal interests? Or is it possible many prominent US folks aided, abetted or benefited from this debacle?
