New
Hillary Emails
Have Only 14
on Libya,
Gaddafi in NJ,
Feltman on NGO
By Matthew
Russell Lee
UNITED
NATIONS, July
31 -- Among
the 1,356
Hillary
Clinton emails
released by
the US State
Department on
July 31 are
only 14 which
mention Libya.
There
is the threat
of Gaddafi
staying at his
UN Permanent
Representative's
house in
Engelwood,
New Jersey,
then that
getting canceled.
(There
is an email
to Cheryl
Mills from
Martin Edelman,
citing
"support in
Israel for
dialogue with
Syria... chess
game with
Iran.)
There
is then-US,
now-UN
official
Jeffrey
Feltman noting
that US
funding might
go to an NGO
headed by a
Gaddafi, here.
The
newly released
emails mention
Feltman's
"boss" Ban Ki-moon
12 times.
One was
from
Strobe
Talbott,
about dining
with Ban (who
will be
in DC against
next week,
here) and
trying to find
the right
"channel" to
reach Hillary
on, here.
One is
a "Call
Sheet" for
Hillary
Clinton to
call Ban on
August 24,
2009, starting
"You are
calling UN
Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon to
ask him to
co-host with
you an event
at UNGA to
advance the
Global
Partnership
for
Agriculture
and Food
Security."
Another
email, which
Inner City
Press reported
a month ago, is
about NOT
having UN Food
and
Agriculture
Organization
chief Jacques
Diouf host the meeting.
There is
one email that
mentions the
UN Development
Program, UNDP
- but it is hard
to read,
literally:
apparently a
hard-copy.
There
are 16 emails
mentioning Sri
Lanka. One of
them also
mentions Ban,
whose record
on Sri Lanka
continues to
be questioned
today, but
most of which
are about responding
to the
Government of
Sri Lanka
complaining
about Hillary
Clinton
linking their
army to rape
in a September
30, 2009
speech. It is
"put to bed"
by a letter to
Sri Lanka's
then Foreign
Minister.
Morocco
is mentioned
only three
times: the
Forum for the
Future twice,
and once
concerning urging
Guinea's Dadis
Camera to seek
exile in
Morocco or
another
French-speaking
country.
