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.
