Out who goes?:

BIN LADEN GATE

[Cachelot]

A BBC investigation has revealed that the United Nations funded the work of a charity believed by the United States to be a front organisation for Osama Bin Laden.

I'm not all that surprised over this. I'm actually more surprised thet the BBC would reveal it.

'UN duped'

Or, on second thought, I'm not.

The most important work of the UN is to fund all enemies of America with US money anyway.

[RonWebb]

It's interesting how the article jumps from "if the US allegation is true" and "if the US Treasury is right" to "The fact that the UN has been so easily duped..."

In any case, the amount of money potentially involved is small -- $1.4 million spread among a consortum of charities, only one of which is alleged to have been involved. If this were any other organization but the UN -- and it probably could be any other major charitable organization, if subjected to such intense scrutiny -- would it even be worth reporting?

The UN donated more than $1.4m to a consortium of charities working in the Sudan in 1997, one of which was the Muwafaq (Arabic: blessed relief) Foundation.

The UN frequently gives money to questionable characters; this is not the first time it's happened;

even the US federal government does similar things in that it gives money to left-wingers on college campuses.
