James Taranto is becoming a favorite source of the CRIB ... his "Best of the Web" is so good I can hardly wait for it to arrive each day. Today he reminds me of an area which needs more attention ... an area kinda lost in effort to stop the murder of a young woman in Florida.
The United Nations is investigating 150 instances in which 50 peacekeeping troops or civilians in the Congo mission are suspected of having sexually abused or exploited women and girls, some as young as 12. Often, the victims were vulnerable, poverty-stricken girls engaged in what Congolese call 'obligation' or 'survival' sex. . . . Similar charges have been made about U.N. missions in Sierra Leone and Liberia, as well as Kosovo and Bosnia in Europe. The United Nations is also investigating reports of rape or sexual assault in Congo, including one case in which a French logistics employee was found with hundreds of videotapes that showed him torturing and sexually abusing naked girls.
This stinks ... these guys are like The Shadow when it comes to disappearing; or a chameleon when it comes to blending in.
It's to Coffin Anon's benefit if this goes away, it's to the UN's benefit if it goes away, and it certainly is to the perpetrators benefit if this goes away. So what benefits do you think will accrue to the victims of the United Nations humanitarian mission?
I don't have much leverage but I'm personally not going to forget the "French logistics employee." How many times have we been lambasted for our deviants here in the USA when crimes against children committed by Frenchmen and Belgians make what John Evander Couey did to Jessica Lunsford pale by comparison.
Stay posted for more on the mysterious "French logistics employee."
