That's what Norm Coleman thinks anyway, and it's hard to argue with his basic premise.

By the way, I almost think the involvement of Annan's son Kojo is a bit of a distraction -- it turns the issue to whether the father should suffer for the sins of the son.

"Oil for Food" program, and it happened on Annan's watch. Where does the buck stop at Turtle Bay?
