From the wonderful (and blog-rolled) Michael Moore website

Congress to investigate claims of Saddam's oil-for-food bribery
An American congressional panel will begin hearings this week into charges that Saddam Hussein bribed officials around the world with billions of dollars from the United Nations' oil-for-food programme.
bq. The timing of the hearing could not be worse for the UN, as the embarrassing charges of laxity will be aired as it prepares to return to Iraq after the 30 June handover to interim Iraqi authorities.
bq. The fraud allegations that have surfaced so far are only the "tip of the iceberg", said Claude Hankes-Drielsma, a British adviser to the Iraq Governing Council, who will testify before Congress on Wednesday.
And would Mikey be planning a documentary about this? After all, it made more Iraqi's suffer than any of the G. W. Bush's machinations...
Given the choice between Halliburton and the United Nations, I would choose Halliburton every time.
