Babe Claudia lays into the Oil for Food report over at NRO. Calling the report "not promising" and apparently whitewashing the esteemed Great Leader, Kofi:

“The Secretary-General — any Secretary-General — has not been chosen for his managerial or his administrative skills, nor has he been provided with a structure conducive to strong executive control and oversight.” In other words, as the preface also states, although the U.N. charter “designates the Secretary-General as Chief Administrative Officer,” the Volcker committee believes his real role has become that of “chief diplomatic and political agent of the United Nations.”

That leaves us with a secretary-general who is apparently excused from competent management, but also failed to alert the world to such vital political matters as Saddam’s attempts to corrupt the U.N.’s own Security Council via Oil-for-Food deals — information obvious from records the U.N. kept secret from the public, but not from Annan.

It's a long article but the first question that came into my mind is the futility of appointing these commissions. This is a Hillary type expose' of criminals already in jail, contaminated medical supplies already destroyed, and other uselessness. Interesting article, but dry as a bone baked by the desert sands.
