Volcker and the UN Scandal

Is Volcker working for the UN or working to discover the wrongdoings of the UN? Unfortunately, it becomes more clear every day that it's the former.
Paul Volcker called the chairmen of at least three congressional committees looking into the $64 billion Oil-for-Food program Thursday and told them Congress cannot subpoena the former employees, FOX News has learned. Volcker said the former investigators, who resigned two weeks ago, have diplomatic immunity and therefore cannot be called to testify before their panels.

I am scared that Volcker's panel will be nothing more than a whitewash - and Kofi and his band of UN thieves will be exonerated. Those hoping for convictions (including me) are going to be sorely disappointed.
