UN and Credibility

How fun! This body ousted the US a while ago from itself, but doesn't see anything wrong in electing Cuba, that bastion of Human Rights back. The UN keeps its credibility and there are reports of pigs flying. And then there are the morons who will scream to death over Ashcroft's "persecution and suppression" of free speech in the US, but are eerily and disgustingly silent about Cuba recently "cracking down" on those damn "dissenters" who seek to undermine Castro by asking for a little freedom. Strage world we live in, folks - very strange! Cry over this, bleeding-hearts!

U.S. Enraged as Cuba Returned to U.N. Rights Body

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Cuba was reelected without opposition on Tuesday to the United Nations' top human rights body, prompting a fierce response by Washington that it was "like putting Al Capone in charge of bank security."

The voting took place in the 54-nation U.N. Economic and Social Council, which two years ago ousted the United States from the Human Rights Commission for the first time since Washington helped found it in 1947. The United States was returned to the body in a vote the following year.
