It's time to blow the lid off Oil-for-food

The Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations begins hearings today into the U.N. Oil-For-Food scandal. Hindrocket at Powerline weighs in on Chairman Norm Coleman (R-MN), who will head the hearings, as a potential juggernaut who may finally blow the lid off this enormous scandal:

This is potentially great news. We're all used to seeing inept, windbag Senators attempting to question witnesses, while mostly delivering incoherent speeches. Not so with Norm, who, among his other talents, was a first-rate trial lawyer in the Minnesota Attorney General's office before he began his political career. If there is anyone who can shed some light on the U.N. scandal, it's Norm Coleman. Stay tuned.

We shall see and we'll keep our fingers crossed. With the elections behind us, it's time to zero in on the corruption at the U.N. and its complicity with Saddam Hussein's reign of terror in Iraq by allowing his atrocities toward his people and threats to the world community to continue as long as their pockets were padded with money that was to be used to provide for the poor and ravaged people of that nation.
