Arabist Arrogant Kofi Annan, the 'Oil for food scandal' Criminal, shows some eyebrows

Annan loses his cool over 'unfair' media coverage EDITH LEDERER IN NEW YORK
KOFI Annan, the United Nations secretary-general, lashed out at the media after a year of unrelenting attacks on the UN and strong criticism of his management of the £37 billion oil-for-food programme in Iraq.
The normally mild-mannered official appeared to lose his temper, attacking newspaper reporters for what he said was unfair media coverage of his role - and his son's - in the controversial programme, and said the real scandal had been overlooked.

That, he said, was the more than 2,200 companies and individuals from some 40 countries that paid kickbacks or illegal surcharges to Saddam Hussein's government to get contracts.
An 18-month investigation, led by former US Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, cleared Mr Annan of influencing an oil-for-food contract that went to a company which employed his son, Kojo, but was strongly critical of his management of the programme.
At Mr Annan's year-end press conference, one reporter mentioned a Mercedes-Benz which Kojo Annan imported into Ghana using his father's diplomatic immunity to avoid taxes and customs duty and said some of the secretary-general's version of oil-for-food related events "don't really make sense".
"I think you're being very cheeky," Mr Annan interrupted.
"Listen James Bone [of The Times], you've been behaving like an overgrown schoolboy in this room for many, many months and years.
"You are an embarrassment to your colleagues and to your profession. Please stop misbehaving and please let's move on to a serious journalist."

Oh well, he wants the brave journalist to 'grow up', you see?

That's right, How dare the "little child" (he called the journalist) wants to push on the right button that most in the media ignore?

This is actually a convicting sign, as a glimpse into Kofi Annan's dictatorship like management he has been conducting all these years in his "house" the UN, Any wonder why so many voices of truth against his corruption have been muted with this terrorizing & public humiliation behaviour?

This is what happens when arrogance is accepted, Where is the uproar?

I was waiting in vain to see the NY Times or the BBC to follow up on the unacceptable Annan that tries to sweep his crimes under the carpet again, via arrogance and belittling in public a journalist that just does his duty.

Now, where are all those heart bleeding liberals taking the side of the struggling free speech and accurate journalism?

Now imagine Bush doing the same thing to someone that brings up for the millionth time the WMD question.
