The guy's name is Mohammed.
That alone tells me he should be allowed nowhere NEAR this position.
Give him a ham and cheese sandwich, a beer to wash it down, and send him on his way.
Cheers!

But a source at the Department of Trade and Industry last night said the government did not have confidence in El Baradei and was desperately seeking an alternative candidate. Gee ... I wonder why

"Seems they have leakers in the UK too."
If you read the article you posted, you'd see that these documents weren't leaked!

Thank you, I know of that. Iran shouldn't even be in the UN, as its for "peace-loving" nations.
