That's not how we do business

Former UNSCOM chief-weapons inspector Rolf Ekeus revealed today that he was offered millions of dollars if he'd "report right."

His response to Hussein's deputy prime-minister, Tariq Aziz: "That is not the way we do business in Sweden."

The Post describes this revelation as yet another "oil-for-food bombshell scandal." Sounds fair to me.

The allegation also begs a few questions, the first of which is obviously, "What would Hussein need to hide behind attempts at bribing officials in the inspection regime?" Perhaps those telling us all about the non-existent Iraqi WMD's could answer that...

Next, "Was this reported by Ekeus back to the UN? To whom?"

And finally, "What was the UN's response?"
