"Some of them are seeing that they're just "useful idiots" for the wealthy and corporate elites." Who are these "wealthy and corporate elites" who are negotiating on behalf of the taxpayer?

Libya to join U.N. Human Rights Council turtlebay.foreignpolicy.com Libya will be elected Thursday to the U.N. Human Right Council, marking another step in the former American enemy's now well-advanced political rehabilitation on the world stage. Ever since the Libyan government in 2003 made peace with Washington and abandoned its nascent nuclear weapons program, Tripoli has ascended virtually every important diplomatic body at the United Nations -- including the African Union chairmanship, the U.N. Security Council, and the presidency of the U.N. General Assembly. Tripoli's growing diplomatic respectability has gnawed at relatives of the victims of Pan Am Flight 103, which in 1988 was bombed by a Libyan agent as it flew over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 people on board and 11 on the ground. But Republican and Democratic governments have learned to work with Tripoli, and the Obama administration did not mount a campaign to block its election to the rights council, as it did for Iran. Does Obama have anyone at State that doesn't have their head up their ass?
