Hat Tip to Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit.
From Fox News:
The committee probing the Oil-for-Food (search) scandal says it will correct omitting the name of a U.N. official involved in the international controversy who has a close relationship with the executive director of the panel.
It's well known that the Volcker commission's executive director, Reid Morden (search), and Louise Frechette (search) have had a "longstanding professional relationship" for 30 years, according to the Independent Inquiry Committee — dubbed the "Volcker commission" after its chief, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker (search).
Morden was Canada's deputy minister of foreign affairs in the 1990s. Frechette is U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's No. 2 at the international organization. But Frechette also was Canada's ambassador to the United Nations at the same time Morden was her boss.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, could we get someone to take a look at this organization without being connected? Send Matt, Doug, Sean, and Me, and even through in a token well reasoned liberal....we would get to the bottom of it...This is getting ridiculous, and it simply further shows the cronyism and such that has become the hallmark of the inept UN, and now the so-called "independent" commission.
