Spoke Australia source that the Oil for Food scandal has now washed onshore to damage the John Howard government. The allegations are graft, skimming, kickbacks, bribery and conspiracy to conceal with regard trading with Baghdad as late as 2002; and the tale points to a bevy of plutocrats and also toward Howard and his able, popular Foreign Secretary Alexander Downer. It is smoke for now, but there is noise of documents linking Howard directly, at least as someone who should have known of the schemes earlier than now. Worse ahead. Downer and Howard are ducking questions thrown at them each time they appear without buffers.

Not resigning weather, now now.
