From the AP: At Wednesday&#8217;s press conference, one of the most persistent questioners, James Bone of The Times of London, mentioned a Mercedes-Benz that Kojo Annan imported into Ghana using his father&#8217;s diplomatic immunity to avoid taxes and customs duty, and said some of the secretary-general&#8217;s accounts of oil-for-food related events, &#8220;don&#8217;t really make sense.&#8221;]]>Wed, 21 Dec 2005 21:50:03 -0500<![CDATA[Roger L.
