The UN like, the UN that appointed Libya to head its Human Rights Commission? On which Zimbabwe, Sudan and Syria sit? (Shall I quote New York Times reporter Thomas Friedman on Syria's torture methods from his book From Beirut to Jerusalem, taken from the Amnesty International testimony of a Syrian student who manged to escape?)
"Whenever a person is tortured…he is ordered to strip naked. Inside the room there is . . . an apparatus called the Black Slave, on which they force the torture victim to sit. When switched on, a very hot and sharp metal skewer enters the rear, burning its way until it reaches the intestines, then returns only to be reinserted."
Yup, nice place, that UN, quite the type to come and give the US lessons.
