#1 "French defense-electronics group Thales SA on Monday denied allegations from a fired company executive that it paid out millions of dollars in bribes"

Bribes are a way of life in France. Before Chirac let Coca-Cola put vending machines in Paris, hurting the waiters' tips on overpriced fountain drinks, he demanded his bribe money put into the Widows and Orphans Fund. While the executives considered it a relatively reasonable price to do business there, I believe this is one of the questionable funds in the UN Oil-for-Food scandal. Vindication for 'W'?
