UNITED
NATIONS, April
20 -- With one
brother dead
and the other
in the
hospital,
still without
Miranda
warnings,
focus has
shifted to
their
overseas
connections,
specifically
the Caucasus
Emirate or
Kavkaz
Center.
Last
May after the
Kavkaz Center
was put on the
UN's Al Qaeda
sanctions
list, Inner
City Press asked Sweden why
it continue to
allow hosting
of the group's
web site
in its
territory,
despite a
specific UN
Security
Council
provision
against it.
The
Swedish
Mission
replied to
Inner City
Press, in
essence, that
it was
up
to the court
there.
That
apparently has
not worked, at
least as
the UN
sanctions
committee says
it intended:
the Kavkaz
Center cite
is blaming the
Boston
Bombings on
the US
military or
its private
contractors.
Russia
may well point
to this, as to
the fruitless
questioning of
the older
brother:
Russia tried,
the US (and in
the case of
the website,
Sweden)
failed.
As
Inner City
Press, we are
not for the
blocking of
any website.
But UN
sanctions,
once adopted,
should either
be
even-handedly
pursued, or
dropped. Some
countries are
trashed for
not allowing
in “experts”
who are
obviously
biased --
Rwanda and
Steve Hege
come to mind,
but
Sudan makes a
similar
argument.
But
Sweden,
usually a UN
poster child,
re-opening
“its” Economic
and
Social Chamber
this week, was
allowed
without any
questions to
ignore the Al
Qaeda
sanctions.
Long
story short?
The UN is a
joke, or a gag
of double
standards.
Watch
this site.
Footnote:
while there are
these,
and surely
other, UN
connections,
by contrast
the supposedly
global wire
service Agence
France Presse
sent its UN scribe,
defender of
French head of
UN
Peacekeeping
Herve Ladsous,
Tim Witcher up
to to Boston -
to write with
that dateline
on such topics
as how "right
wing"
Americans hate
tax day. Heard
of Jerome
Cahuzac, the
French
minister
falsely
denying Swiss
bank deposits?
Media fail...
