The Oil for Food Case is starting to pick up steam. In the U.S. it has now led to 8 guiltly pleas, 2 guilty verdicts, 2 forfietures and there are 9 trials remaining. Where is Kofi Annan in all of this? Being recognized for his "leadership" and getting invited to "Global Elders". Justice is long overdue in this case, the U.N. and those who were in charge of this debacle should be held accountable.

Texas oilman David Chalmers and two companies he owns pleaded guilty on Friday to paying millions of dollars in secret kickbacks to Iraq in connection with the United Nations oil-for-food program.

Chalmers, 53, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, just weeks before he was due to go on trial with Texas oil tycoon Oscar Wyatt.
