In an article in Opinion Journal today, Claudia Rosset pressured the United Nations to release to the public all documents relating to the Oil for Fraud program. Rosett noted that the U.N. has some 15 million relevant documents in hand and collects more each day. The Oil for Fraud investigation headed by Paul Volker is not expected to release a report in the near future- the overwhelming volume of reading material is a critical obstruction. Rosset proposed the cleanising effect of daylight on the documentation and she is right- let free journalists investigate and the truth will come out. Then again, the truth is what Kofi Annan wants least of all.
