22. The "New York Sun" is the RW authority on this well not the Chalabi part
If that "newspaper"'s name doesn't sound familiar don't be shocked. The New York Sun originally folded in the 50's, the name was bought (like Moon did with UPI) and the paper was restarted last year. It is just another quotable source for the Hannitys and Humes of this world.

The NY Sun "broke" the story about Kofi's son but they never actually said that Kojo was ever involved in oil for food while working for Cotecna (sp?) they just dance around it and let the reader make the connection. The RW loves that tactic-see the tort reform hype- and they play it to the hilt.

I wrote a thread about this a while ago. It is complete crap. Fox News reported the story while showing footage of Kofi so you got the impression HE was receiving $2,500 a month from Cotecna when in actuality is was his son, part of a deferred compensation package.....sound familiar? Kojo never worked on oil for food he was working in Africa- in Niger I think.
