Title: What did the French Government do...
Post by: Shuckins on October 21, 2004, 09:00:48 AM
...with the officials who were caught eye-deep in dishonest oil deals with Saddam Hussein?

Prison?  Censure?  Guillotine?  

Award them the Croix de Guerre, followed by handshakes all around?

Sniff disdainfully and blame it on the current U.S. administration?

What?

I ask because I haven't HEARD anything in months.  Which, in itself, may say something.

It is still under investigation.

Secretary General Kofi Annan has pledged a complete investigation and promised that those found guilty of corruption or improper behavior will be punished. To that end, Annan recruited former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker to lead a U.N.-sponsored probe.

Then by your own admission, the US is no longer wrong for invading Iraq, as it is not against any of our laws either.
