• Benon Sevan Blames Kofi For 'Not Standing by Him'The former head of the scandal-tainted oil-for-food program resigned from the United Nations on Sunday, hours before he is expected to be accused of getting kickbacks from the $67 billion operation. On Sunday, Lewis distributed a letter from Sevan, 67, to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan resigning from his current job, which he was given after he retired. Sevan blamed the secretary-general and his staff for not defending the program and making him a scapegoat.
