The UN is a liberal outpost that has a love affair with the democrat party. The conflict of interest is phenomenal. However, the part I love most of all is they are going to investigate themselves. Deja vu, all over again.
Staffers at the United Nations Development Program have demanded that the agency's outgoing administrator, Mark Malloch Brown, fire an employee who they say has violated rules designed to assure the world body's neutrality by working for the Democratic presidential campaign.
According to the UNDP employees who wrote the letter - saying their anonymity should be protected as whistle blowers - the agency "has earned the dubious reputation as a Democratic political outpost." Violating U.N. rules designed to ensure political neutrality endangers all U.N. workers, they claim. "Continuing complicity and inaction on your part will maintain a precedent encouraging more staff members to interfere in a partisan manner at all levels of politics in member states."
Mr. Leites's stint with the Kerry-Edwards campaign in his home state of Maine last year violated staff rules, the authors say. Taking leave to work for an American political campaign "has projected UNDP into the center of the sort of acrimonious Democratic-Republican debate that characterized the bitterly fought 2004 presidential election," the letter read.
