Counterterrorism Blog

Fox News has researched the charges that led to the UN's firing of Joseph Stephanides (the only person fired thus far in the OFF scandal) and found them wanting. Fox News reporters reviewed documentary evidence that Stephanides had acted on the Lloyd's Register Oil-for-Food contract only after receiving higher-level UN authorization for his actions. Our own Contributing Expert, Victor Comras was the first to question the Volcker Commission findings against Stephanides and to challenge the UN's decision to summarily dismiss him. His series of blogs seeking justice for Stephanides date back to February 10, 2005, just 4 days after publication of the first interim Volcker Commission report. His virtually one-man campaign on behalf of Stephanides now appears vindicated, and it's further proof that we can't trust the U.N. to tell us the whole truth about OFF.
