From Michelle Malkin's blog:
THE U.N.'S ABU GHRAIB
By Michelle Malkin · November 23, 2004 09:51 AM

Reuters reports on despicable acts by United Nations peacekeepers in the Congo:
The United Nations is investigating about 150 allegations of sexual abuse by U.N. civilian staff and soldiers in the Congo, some of them recorded on videotape, a senior U.N. official said on Monday.

The accusations include pedophilia, rape and prostitution, said Jane Holl Lute, an assistant secretary-general in the peacekeeping department.

Lute, an American, said there was photographic and video evidence for some of the allegations and most of the charges came to light since the spring...
So, expect to see the abuse photos plastered on the front page of the New York Times and the video replayed endlessly on CBS News, right?

Yeah, right.
Well said, Ms. Malkin.
