Captain's Quarters on UN Oil for Food

Captain's Quarters: Kojo And Benan About To Star In Senate Investigation, via Glenn:

Kofi Annan should resign. He won't, of course, and the member states will once again issue paeans to his leadership. That demonstrates that this corruption is no anomaly at Turtle Bay, but it exemplifies the way people expect to do business at the UN.

I'm hopeful that the Senate's investigation of Oil for Food led by Norm Coleman will be more effective than Paul Volcker's.

Well, I heard stories that the US knew already a very long time about the problems with the Oil for Food program, but they didn't bother to do anything about it.
So this just seems like another political scam.

Huh? How exactly is investigating the largest corruption in history in the world's most important international institution a political scam?
