I think it is a little bit... ok, a lot hypocritical for Republicans to be calling for the head of Kofi Annan while rallying behind their own criminal, Tom DeLay. And if the buck stops at the top, where is the head of Rumsfeld? I think it is ironic for these people to be speaking up when their own party admits no mistakes, ever. Maybe they should clean their own house before commenting on the dirtiness of another. Apparently innocent until proven guilty only applies to non-Republicans.
House Republicans Say Annan Should Resign
By KEN GUGGENHEIM, Associated Press Writer (Full Story)
WASHINGTON - Five House Republicans on Monday joined a call for U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) to resign amid allegations of corruption in the oil-for-food program.
Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., said stepping down may not be enough for Annan.
"To me the question should not be whether Kofi Annan should remain in charge," he said. "The question is whether he should be in jail," he said.
Garrett and four other Republican lawmakers spoke at a Capitol news conference in support of a bill that would withhold some U.S. dues to the United Nations if the organization doesn't fully cooperate with investigations of the program.

What good is hypocrisy if you can't spread it around... there's this issue and then there's demanding fair elections in Ukraine, but God forbid we recount the votes in Ohio!!
