U.N. fiasco

Okay for me, but not for thee. The U.N. champions the rights of women, holding conferences every year - dozens of them it seems at times. They are all for women except for those working for the U.N. Dileep Nair was accused of sexual harassment and the usual U.N. investigation ensued. With one minor catch. Dileep Nair was a U.N. official. So once the investigation was completed with a recommendation of wrondoing, Kofi Annan promptly dismissed the case. Nothing more needed to be done. The tiny glitch then was that the U.S. demanded some accountability and the union that covers U.N. staffers finally stepped up and are threatening a no confidence vote.

Agence France-Presse is reporting that Annan is under pressure to *gasp * resign. Would you know this from our American media?

Annan could not be reached for immediate comment. He is currently in Africa on a mission aimed at ending the long-running civil war in Sudan.

But he faces unprecedented calls to resign over the burgeoning scandal about "oil-for-food," a UN aid scheme that US investigators say allowed Saddam to siphon off billions of dollars.

Bolding mine.
Funny, haven't heard Jimmy Carter pipe up about corruption. And I don't recall the New York Times becoming indignant. Come to think of it, except for this story, has anyone heard of calls for Annan to resign? Does anyone remember Jimmy Carter's indignation over 800,000 dead blacks in Rwanda or indignation and moral outrage over the killing in Sudan? I havent' heard any anger from Clinton either or anyone in his administration.
