Kofi Annan's deputy Malloch Brown  casually let slip yesterday that American tax dollars going to the UN sponsor gatherings at luxury resorts where "a lot of bored important people are milling around."

Benny Avni's fine article in the New York Sun also notes that the Massey family, which controls Cotecna, the consulting firm making secret payments to Annan's son Kojo, which also got the contracts to monitor the Oil for Food Program, was under indictment in Pakistan at the time it was searching for the UN contracts.
