Redhanded: Computer Snafu Reveals UN Whitewashing Harari Assassination ReportThe Times of London has a huge story today: The United Nations withheld some of the most damaging allegations against Syria in its report on the murder of Rafik Hariri, the former Lebanese Prime Minister, it emerged yesterday. There's a lot about this story that isn't known. How independent was this reporting team? If no one inside the UN not on the team influenced the changes, why were they made only after the report was handed in? And why so quickly afterward? Even if the reporting team wanted to make those changes all along, leaving out the names of the assassins as perhaps too politically explosive, what does that say about the UN's ability to serve as an independent "chips fall where they may" investigator (stop laughing). Why would anyone trust them again? Why did anyone trust them in the first place? Wouldn't everyone be screaming their heads off if any other investigative agency on a homicide refused, for polical reasons, to name the actual killer? Doesn't it make you quesition the institution itself? Update: Kofi Responsible for Changes? The last-minute alterations made to the Detlev Mehlis report on the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri may have been made under pressure by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Israel Radio reported Friday afternoon. Speculation will now begin as to whether other countries (read: the US) signed off on the whitewash, as a concession to get other countries to go along with added pressure on Syria. Not such a bad move if so. Still, the thing now looks to have blown up in whoever's behind its' face. And all because someone lacked the mad tech-skillz. The world, ever more obviously, belongs to the guys from tech support. Another Update For Ya: Apparantly when this thing blew up, the prosecutor tried to sell the thing thusly: German Detlev Mehlis insisted at a hastily-arranged news conference that the names had been removed only to maintain their "presumption of innocence", once he learned that his confidential report was to be made public. So, what, the investigator/preparer of the report suddenly learns at the very last moment the report ain't gonna be kept secret? And what about all the other names mentioned? Why is it that only the high up Syrian regime types get the presumption? This is bogus. If that were the case, the public report would have no names at all. Instead, there are the names of tens of key figures garnered through interviews, testimony and investigation. Stinkiness at the UN, indeed. | Recent Comments
