In the world of U.N. flim-flam, some might call it a junket, some might call it a farce, some might call it a political hit job in an election year - and they'd all have a good case. Here comes Doudou Dienne of Senagal, dispatched to America as a special investigator by the Geneva-based Human Rights Council (yes, the outfit where the delegates of China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia et al. meet regularly to define human rights right down into the sewer, slam Israel, and then repair to the Mercedes and BMW's waiting to ferry them off to dinner.) Diene is jetting around on a two week tour here to learn about and report back on the virtues and workings of a free country. But let's not get ridiculous. This is the U.N. at work! Diene will be touring America to inquire whether "racism," as understood by the U.N., figures in our presidential campaign. At the U.N., "racism" is a code word routinely slapped around to describe almost anything American, democratic, or supportive of Israel's democracy. We expect he'll return from his jaunt around America with a list of observations that will duly, and publically shock the Human Rights Council - including such members as Saudi Arabia (anyone tried setting up a church recently on their premises?), Cuba, and the People's Republic of China (now reeducating the monks of Tibet), etc. - as well as the commission chaired by Libya, with the help of Iran, Pakistan, Cuba & Co., now preparing for a 2009 reprise of the racist, xenophobic and terror-friendly "Death to Israel! Death to America" 2001 Durban Conference.

I used to think that too until the Oil-for-Food scandal broke - and that’s said to be the biggest billion dollar swindle in modern history. Even if they do a few things well, I think if there’s not a root and branch reform, the U.S. and we taxpayers are suckers for financing this corrupt anti-democratic organization that’s run like a Third World thugocracy.
Carter wrote a book about Israel’s “apartheid” and probably loves the anti-Semitism of the U.N. and its support of Palestinian terrorism.
I don’t know who exactly invited them either. But you’re probably right about it being some Carteresque jerk.
Exactly - you’re right on target. Claudia Rosett says towards the end of the article: “...let’s do some investigating of our own - starting with a demand for the complete release, with detailed breakdown, of his travel expenses including air tickets, meals, entertainment, per diems, hotel rooms, phone calls, limousines, support services and staff assistance as he produces his report.”
I’ll be the first to join you in the protest. It’s long overdue.
Damn right! I’m as disgusted as you with our politicians. Maybe, to use Rush’s expression, those testicles are in a “lock box.”
Right - and I’m sure Barack will welcome all Islamofascists into his victimology scheme.
“Maybe, to use Rush’s expression, those testicles are in a “lock box.”
True.
