Is The Nation magazine being completely honest about its U.N. correspondent working for the U.N.? On its website, next to an Ian Williams column attacking John Bolton's nomination as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., there is a little box that provides information "about Ian Williams, UN Correspondent."
It says that, "In addition to his work as UN correspondent for The Nation, Ian Williams has frequently entered the lists on its behalf on a wide variety of radio and TV outlets, including Hardball, The O'Reilly Factor, Scarborough Country, UN TV and many more." The listing of UN TV is new. Williams-and many other journalists-have appeared on the U.N. television program World Chronicle. But Williams is not the only journalist to have appeared on UN TV who had admitted getting paid.
However, that bio box in the upper right hand corner does NOT disclose the extent of his affiliation with the U.N. You have to click on the "more" link, which takes you to more information.
Williams doesn't note that [KOFI] Annan unveiled another U.N. reform plan back in 1997. Looking back at it, one can almost laugh out loud

Didier Bourguet
Call me an extremist, but I think it's wrong for U.S. tax dollars to be used to send U.N. pedophiles to Africa. The U.N. pedophiles then rape little African girls.
U.S. tax dollars also pay for U.N. bureaucrats to take sex trips to third world countries, where they infect the local women/men with HIV.
"Didier Bourguet, a U.N. official from France, is pictured here in an image found on his hard drive, which was obtained by ABC News. Also on the hard drive were thousands of photos of him having sex with hundreds of young Congolese girls. (ABC News)"
"U.N. SEX CRIMES IN CONGO"
"Prostitution, Rapes Run Rampant"
By BRIAN ROSS, DAVID SCOTT and RHONDA SCHWARTZ
ABC News
"NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2005 Widespread allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of Congolese women, boys and girls have been made against U.N. personnel who were sent to help and protect them despite a so-called zero tolerance policy touted by the United Nations toward such behavior."
"The range of sexual abuse includes reported rapes of young Congolese girls by U.N. troops; an Internet pedophile ring run from Congo by Didier Bourguet, a senior U.N. official from France; a colonel from South Africa accused of molesting his teenage male translators; and estimates of hundreds of underage girls having babies fathered by U.N. soldiers who have been able to simply leave their children and their crimes behind."

WHO IS DIDIER BOURGUET? By Michelle Malkin · February 12, 2005 03:58 PM
"A scandal about the sexual abuse of Congolese women and children by U.N. officials and peacekeepers intensified Friday with the broadcast of explicit pictures of a French U.N. worker and Congolese girls and his claim that there was a network of pedophiles at the U.N. mission in Congo."
"...Bourguet, 41, is facing charges of sexual abuse and rape in France. His lawyer, Claude de Boosere- Lepidi, said in court last week that there was a network of U.N. personnel who had sex with underage girls and that Bourguet had engaged in similar activity in a previous U.N. posting in the Central African Republic."
"Bourguet's case is the only one that has been prosecuted among 150 allegations against about 50 soldiers and U.N. civilian officials who have served in the Congo peacekeeping mission. At least seven cases of sexual exploitation and abuse have been documented against peacekeepers based in Bunia, a northeastern town. One civilian has been suspended until the investigation is complete, and another has resigned. The U.N. is conducting further investigations and expects to find more cases."
