Corruption in Kurdistan explodes in their face!

"You might have read my dear friend Mizgin's post about this but there is much further than our comments and it has now gone as far as both Barzani and Talabani's office accusing Michael Rubin and Hawlati paper of defacing the good look of Kurdish Iraq in washington and within Kurdistan!

Western states and international human rights organizations largely ignored the only relatively free area of Iraq as it suffered not only under UN sanctions but also under a separate embargo imposed by Saddam's regime in Baghdad, which UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali empowered to allocate food and medicine to Iraqi Kurdistan under the UN Oil-for-Food Programme.[4] As late as 2001, the State Department maintained that it was illegal for U.S. citizens to travel to Iraqi Kurdistan on U.S. passports under terms of U.S. and UN sanctions

That is part of the introduction of the report of course. I didnt realy want to go any further to understand what Michael was about to say but I just wanted to know the extent of the corruption and the scale of the money and wealth that we are talking about.
If I was any of the leaders I would do either of these two things after these lines:"
