SENTENCE IN U.N. OIL FOR FOOD.
NEW YORK (AP) -- A judge sentenced a 71-year-old to five years in prison for participating in a conspiracy involving the United Nations' oil-for- food program.
U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said the sentence was harsh for a defendant in poor health, but said it was reasonable and appropriate for Tongsun Park, convicted of accepting at least $2 million to secretly work on Iraq's behalf to influence the oil-for-food program.
Finely we have some justice for what was done to the Iraqi people by a corrupt U.N. program.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t stop here, as i think most of us believe, that is goes much deeper then just one man.
