Kofi and the book...
From
Instapundit comes
this book and
this story about Kofi Annan's suppression.
The book is Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures : A True Story from Hell on Earth. The three authors met in Cambodia working for the UN and they write about the corruption and mismanagement endemic to that organization.
From the Amazon.com readers reviews:
bq. Exposes the UN for the decayed and corrupt institution that it is. While its high priests bray at America - its host country and main financial benefactor - its bureaucrats are wandering the world raping, pillaging and on the take from everyone - including, as it turns out, Saddam Hussein. No wonder UN staffers hate this book.
And Charles Laurence writes in the Telegraph:
bq. UN threatens authors of 'racy' exposé
The United Nations has threatened to fire two officials who wrote an expose of sleaze and corruption during its peacekeeping missions of the 1990s.
bq. Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary-General, is understood to have favoured an attempt to block publication of the memoir, Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures, a True Story from Hell on Earth, due to be published next month.
More and more cracks in the wall - that organization never fulfilled its mission and it needs to be dismantled now...
