GOP Starts Multiple Investigations of UN

The United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, is fighting for his job in the face of an increasing campaign by Republican congressmen who have launched a series of investigations into the Iraqi oil-for-food scandal.
Mr Annan is facing three separate congressional investigations into oil-for-food and a UN security council source said a further four are pending.
George Bush's Republican party is hostile towards the UN in general but Mr Annan in particular, especially after he last year declared that the war in Iraq was illegal.
