	UN Headquarters Renovation: No Accountability Without Transparency
		May I also offer the reminder that the UN Secretariat, which hired the inspectors, processed the contracts, and was tasked and paid $1.4 billion to monitor the integrity of this program, in shutting down its role in Oil-for-Food in November, 2003, mentioned not a word about the graft.
		One pattern typical of the UN is that "reform" or "investigation" becomes an excuse for refusing to answer even basic questions, or supply data that as a matter of routine belongs in the public domain.
		The UN refused to answer questions about vital details of its business under Oil-for-Food when the program was underway, on grounds these were "confidential," then refused to answer questions while Volcker was investigating, on grounds an investigation was underway, and has since refused to answer questions on grounds that the investigation is over.

	Bombing of UN headquarters in Baghdad
		Here the UN is the inheritor of the mantle, they are the crucified innocents, they are the victims of revenge attack - they directly made no contribution to the war which engendered this situation.
		It is the true that the UN follows what is ordered to it by the Security Council, but if you decide to follow an order that is inmoral, illegal, and inhumane, executing "sanctions" falling under the legal definition of terrorism, you are responsible for the consequences, you are not innocent.
		The UN "Oil for Food" programme is being 100% financed by the Iraqis, who must see a large portion of what they are paying being diverted for matters that have nothing to do with "humanitarian aid".

		And we all ask: "Who's next?" It felt safer on the streets of Baghdad yesterday, even reporting the bombing of the UN car park, than it did in one's own hotel.
