"That yet another UN program is ill conceived and corrupt is hardly news." Ya, like half of the globe holds the UN up as the one & only legitimate arbiter in FA. This scandal shows how rampantly corrupt the UN & many of its member nations really are. You claim this story isn't newsworthy to you at this time because this "will take a while to sort out". That may be nuance to you, but that's complete BS to me. No major event this explosive has ever been so intentionally under- reported that I can recall. Like it's not newsworthy to report on the allegations & the evidence that makes it obvious that France, Russia & the UN may have taken billions in bribes to thwart the US & the Coalition of the willing from properly enforcing UN resolutions in the shadows of 9/11. Like that wouldn't have sold tons & tons of newspapers. If it weren't for the fact that this clearly hurts the liberal left & clearly helps the Bush Admin, this would compete with the 3/11 attacks for the #1 news story of the year. You can spin & nuance all you wish, but that IS the reason that this is not receiving the massive global coverage that it should be getting. And even you can't admit that the liberal left is intentionally sitting on this story.
