UN-ron Update – Will Kojo Ever Be A Household Name?

I have written before that the various U.N. scandals should be getting loads of media attention now — at least as much as, say, the Scott Peterson trial. In my opinion, Claudia Rosett should be a household name for her coverage of the Oil-for-Food scandal. She reports in her latest article that Kofi Annan’s son, Kojo, was “receiving payments as recently as early this year from a key contractor in the oil-for-food program.” William Safire adds to the story with his account of a personal conversation with Kofi Annan.
