'The Biggest Ripoff in Human History'

Quote care of Shepard Smith on last night's The Fox Report.

Meet Benon Sevan — former administrator of the United Nations "Oil for Food" program for Saddam Hussein's regime; apparent swindler, fraud and bribe-taker; nephew of a "rich aunt" who recently tumbled to her death down an elevator shaft around the time Sevan blamed $160,000 in his bank account on her generosity. He's asked for an extension of the two-week period given to him by the United Nations in which to respond to charges raised by an interim report from former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.

Why an innocent man would need more than fourteen days to prepare a defense is unclear. Since the Manhattan district attorney has begun a separate criminal probe, and United States senators have asked for the bureaucrat to be stripped of his diplomatic immunity, Sevan must not have completed his one-way travel arrangements.
