UN, as in FlUNkies for Fascists II
Claudia Rossett, putting on her Sunday best prose, and telling it like it is:
Here we go again, with yet more reasons to question the UN’s predilection for collaborating with tyrants, all in the name of good works.
Yes, but which tyrant? You’ll never guess:
From Bangkok, via Malaysia’s Bernama news agency, comes a breaking story headlined “Myanmar Abusing UN Aid, Says Human Rights Group.†The lead sentence tells a story familiar to those who have been following the UN Cash-for-Kim scandal in North Korea, or, before that, the UN Oil-for-Food scandal in Iraq. It says: “The military junta in Myanmar [Burma] has embarked on forced labour, extortion and land confiscation in several projects funded or supported by United Nations agencies, the Karen Human Rights Group claimed today.â€
The “Karen” Human Right Group? So that’s what she’s been up to.
