#1 So, for an entire month, he has allowed news stories which quote him as claiming exoneration - and challenged none of those which differed with this impression... A fairly complete picture in these RB articles:

4/26/2005 - Volcker Denies Conflict Probing Buddies, Friends, Biz Associates

4/25/2005 - Kofi's Record Comes Under Fire

4/23/2005 - The New York Sun: Next Crisis at U.N. May Involve Ties Of Volcker, Strong

4/5/2005 - Scandal-hit Annan tries to cool staff anger with a 'pep talk'

3/30/2005 - ai-Guardian/AP: Kofi Not Exonerated

--------------------------------

And the Money Quote is here:
3/29/2005 - Annan Refuses to Quit U.N. Over Report

"After so many distressing and untrue allegations have been made against me, this exoneration by the independent inquiry obviously comes as a great relief," he said.

Lying liars and the lies they tell.

#2 We may be reaching the final act in our Greek tradegy. MSM outlets that normally give Kofi a free pass are severe in their reporting like WaPo.

#3 It not even a Greek Tradegy. It's very poorly done Kabuki. I hope we get to the seppuku soon, all the ground work has been established.

#4 .com, You know the LLL are not responsible for the words that come out of their mouths. Kofi could haved been talking about any number of investigations that are taking place at the un. You ass-u-me that he was talking about the oil-for-dictators fiasco. He could have been talking about Pediphiles-for-Peacekeepers, Parking Tickets-for-Pompous People, or Sex-for-Diplomats investigations when he made that comment. I demand you retract you allegations that he was lying. I hope Bush sends someone really nice to work with Kofi, because he has had a rough couple of years as the SGUN.

#5 It wasn't Exxoneration, it was Total~~FinaElf~~ vindication.
