Titled: Americans' Role Eyed in U.N. Oil Scandal

Remember this guy?

Dec. 1, 2004 — Former American fugitive Marc Rich was a middleman for several of Iraq's suspect oil deals in February 2001, just one month after his pardon from President Clinton, according to oil industry shipping records obtained by ABC News.

And a U.S. criminal investigation is looking into whether Rich, as well as several other prominent oil traders, made illegal payments to Iraq in order to obtain the lucrative oil contracts.

Of course, we remember his lovely wife, Denise, who somehow convinced President Clinton to pardon her husband...

The rest of the story is also quite interesting. Quite a web all over the place.
