Richard Falk - preposterous, but still a UN Rapporteur. Go figure...

Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, got a confession out of UN Chief re the 911 troofer Richard Falk. The full text of the letter is here, so I shall quote only a piece that counts:

You specifically refer to Mr. Falk’s allegations of an “apparent cover-up” related to the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. The Secretary-General condemns these remarks. He has repeatedly stated his view that any such suggestion is preposterous — and an affront to the memory of the more than 3,000 people who died in the attack.
And (But...):
You are aware, no doubt, that the Special Rapporteurs and other independent experts who represent the Human Rights Council are appointed by the Council, not by the Secretary-General. Their continuance in their jobs is thus for the Council to decide.
Every person who knows what travesty the Human Rights Council is will know that prof Falk is exactly where he is meant to be. So what's left? To quote myself:


I invite you to click on the above too. Have you ever seen a finer portrait of a natural born boozer? My heart has immediately warmed up to him, I swear.

Sounds like Falk should get the Spanish Archer ASAP

(for info Spanish Archer = El Bow_

Yep, it's a good and succinct comparison.

Susan Rice has already lobbed one over the deck rails. Hopefully that's not all there is to this.

What's the beef? All the loonies belong at the UN. It's what they do.

Let's wait.

Yes, but what does is say about New York that keeps these loonies willingly? Isn't it quite the time to give them a boot?

Dick Stanley said...

Past time, indeed. But no one listens.

Maybe someone like Sheriff Arpaio is needed to put all these kneebiters to roadwork or something useful.

They don't have sheriffs in Manhattan. They only mock them.
