Whatever the merits of Larsen, he should not be on the fact finding mission for Jenin if one side considers him biased, fairly or not. Presumably others can serve. Whether he should be booted out of the country is another matter. That seems to me to suggest a certain insecurity and paranoia. I don't think that sends the right signal. But I don't have a firm opinion.

It's too late. To Larsen, the "fact finding mission" has been concluded and Israel is in the wrong.

Funny that he didn't call for any UN investigations into any of the 23 homicide by suicide bombers that came from the UN supported refugee camp. But it's not surprising, as Larsen engaged in a shouting match with the Israeli ambassador to the UN floor over the tapes of the Hezbullah kidnapping. Larsen had to admit he was wrong, that he defended the UN erroneously and without knowing the facts, and apologize. Once again we find him making conclusive statements without knowing all the facts. It's obvious the guy is irrational.
