Oil-for-food Investigators Resign

It appears that even members of Paul Volcker's own investigative team know that his report is nothing more than a whitewash. Investigators Robert Parton and Miranda Duncan have resigned.
Two senior investigators with the committee probing corruption in the U.N. oil-for-food program have resigned in protest, saying they believe a report that cleared Kofi Annan of meddling in the $64 billion operation was too soft on the secretary-general, a panel member confirmed Wednesday.

It looks as though Kofi's investment in the Volcker commission is going to be the best investment he ever made.
