UNSCAM UPDATE:

When the head of the U.N.’s Oil-for- Food program got a copy of a letter in October 2002 suggesting that a bribe had been paid to Saddam Hussein’s cronies as part of the program, what do you think was the first thing he did?

If you guessed “informed the authorities, particularly his employers at the Security Council” — guess again.

According to a report Monday on Fox News Channel (a Post sister company), the program’s director, Benon Sevan, took the letter and went directly to . . . Saddam.

But of course.
