Is Kofi Finished? A new e-mail message from Oil-for-Food contractor Cotecna, which the latter discovered in its files “by accident,” suggests that Kofi Annan assured Cotecna of his support ten days before the U.N. contract was awarded. Annan’s son, Kojo, was a Cotecna employee.

If that is all true, it is what lawyers refer to as a “smoking gun. The story of the message’s “accidental” discovery should be a fascinating one.
