If this isn't the height of hypocrisy, I don't know what is! Here is the UN, that has molested more kids than Michael Jackson, talking about someone else's "inexcusable crimes". This is an organization steeped in corruption from top to bottom demanding action against "culprits". To underscore it all, the representative assigned to speak for the international community is a Frenchman whose government is bathed in the oil for food scandal.
If there were abuses, they need to be addressed but not by the UN, the biggest abusers of our time.
A report of US military abuse of detainees in Afghanistan is deeply disturbing and those involved should be punished, the United Nations said on Sunday.
The abuse, including details of the deaths of two inmates at an Afghan detention centre, took place in 2002 and emerged from a nearly 2000-page file of US Army investigators, The New York Times said on Friday.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, speaking before leaving on a US trip, said on Saturday he was shocked and was demanding action against the culprits as well as custody of Afghan prisoners and supervision of US military searches.
Jean Arnault, special representative of the UN secretary-general in Afghanistan, said the abuse reported in the New York Times was unacceptable and an affront to everything the international community stood for.
"The gravity of these abuses calls for the punishment of all those involved in such inexcusable crimes, as demanded by President Karzai," Arnault said in a statement.
