Will there be a trial? I wonder why they do not write about that. Never heard of any trials because of spying. Which international law are they talking about?

The one the ink's not dry on yet. I'd be ticked if we hadn't been spying on them. That said, I'm not sure we've got the nads. Not to mention the fact that the sources for this are Mexico and Chile. Come on.

Jeez, spying at the U.N... Like that hasn't been going on on every side for the last 50 years.

Your link is to the Guardian not the Observer.

I guess they have a website together. It says Observer if you open the link.

The UN is host to the largest collection of spies in the world. I'm totally shocked to learn that there was spying going on!

Of course we were spying on them. As you say, we better had been, or Tenet should go.

I'm outraged! I think the UN should punish the US by moving its headquarters to Europe right away!
Or maybe Chile.
Or Mexico.

It's so tempting when the UN building's right here on U.S. soil. Maybe they should just move away?

The Guardian publishes Monday thru Saturday and The Observer on Sunday. Both are owned by Guardian Media Group.

" 29-year-old Chinese language specialist"What the heck does she have to do with spying on hispanics? "to halt secret negotiations for a compromise resolution to give weapons inspectors more time to complete their work. ...We were looking for a compromise and they [the US] say, "Do not attempt it."
Hey, times up! That's what was said, not "do not attempt it." The peace at all cost niks failed. Now they're whining.
This has nothing to do with spying. The whole article is mumbled confusion intended to mesmerize idiots into hating the US.

Gun has attracted high profile support, particularly in the US, where her case has been taken up by Hollywood stars, civil rights campaigners and members of Congress. Yesterday, Oscar nominee, Sean Penn, told The Observer that Gun was 'a hero of the human spirit'.Well, you can throw HER credibility out the window.

"US officials intervened last March, just days before the war against Saddam was launched, to halt secret negotiations for a compromise resolution to give weapons inspectors more time to complete their work." That kind of craps exactly what we didnt want. We should have sabotaged it!
Its too easy to ask for a few more days, give us next to nothing, and then ask for a few more next time. And too hard to stop and then restart a war at the last minute.

"The revelations follow claims by Chile's former ambassador to the UN, Juan Valdes . . ." Glad to hear he's finally found honest work.
