Surprise, surprise....

Paging Senator Coleman...
The audits reviewed by The Times, conducted by the United Nations' Office of Internal Oversight Services, do not contain allegations of bribery or corruption.

In an interview on Thursday, Mr. Volcker said that the internal audits "don't prove anything," but do show how the United Nations was urged to tighten up its supervision of the program. "There's no flaming red flags in the stuff," he said.
Were there problems in administering the Oil For Food program? Absolutely. Find me a massive multi-national program run by anybody for any purpose that doesn't have problems. But there's not only no evidence, but not even any "allegations of bribery or corruption."

Unlike, say, Halliburton's deal with Rummy's DoD.
