MSM going on again about Kofi Annan and Oil For Food....
What about the huge amount of money the republican's somehow lost?

-------------------------------------

UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- Investigators probing the United Nations' oil-for-food program said Tuesday they are reviewing an e-mail that suggests a communication between Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the company that won a lucrative contract and employed his son.

Spokesmen for Annan and the Swiss company Cotecna were quick to discount the document's significance.

The one-page e-mail was written by a Cotecna vice president in 1998 just before the firm won what became a $10 million-a-year deal to authenticate shipments of food, medicine and supplies entering Iraq.

"We had brief discussions with the SG and his entourage," wrote Michael Wilson on December 4, 1998, in an apparent reference to the secretary-general.

1. They will keep hammering Kofi
To further their goal of getting Bolton nominated. "We need someone to go in there and kick some ass."

2. Why is this Memo so hot and not the DSM? is this an easier
story for the MSM to cover, not as much work? Or could it be they are afraid of the DSM Memos?
