UNITED NATIONS -- United Nations sources confirm with NewsMax that retiring Secretary-General Kofi Annan plans to "petition" the organization's pension fund for the largest retirement benefit package in the 60-year history of the U.N.


Annan is reportedly seeking yearly payments in excess of $250,000 for life and intends to file a claim for an additional $1 million for back payments related to earlier duties at the U.N. when he served as assistant secretary-general and, later, as under secretary-general. The latest $1 million request is in addition to the $1 million lump sum Annan already received on that same pension.

Thanks BB.

Yes, newsmax is an extemely conservatively biased site so it's a good idea to take anything they print with a grain of salt. I tried searching Yahoo and Google news for "Annan pension" and didn't come up with anything.

Maybe another article will turn up though :shrug:
 
Just because one doesn't like the source doesn't make it not true. However, it is nice when the leftists media plays along & provides reliable stories. Like the one that got Dan Rather fired.
 
When Newsmax puts something up it certainly doesn't make it true.

And the mainstream media isn't leftist, just left of you.
 
NO, the mainstream media is quite leftist. That's even agreed upon by the leftist mainstream media.
