The oil for food scandal nabs another one:

A Texas oil executive was sentenced Friday to two years in prison for approving the payment of millions of dollars in kickbacks to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq regime so he could secure large oil shipments through a United Nations program.

U.S. District Judge Denny Chin also fined David Chalmers $9 million. He sentenced Chalmers’ companies, Bayoil USA and the Bahamas-based Bayoil Supply & Trading Ltd., to three years probation.
