#2 Nordlinger has Leahy pegged:

Leahy gained some notoriety as a member of the Intelligence Committee. He was charged with revealing classified information during the Achille Lauro terrorist incident, outraging administration officials. And he leaked a draft report on the Iran-contra affair, leading to his resignation from the intelligence panel. Behavior like this earned for him the sobriquet "Leaky Leahy."

#3 A U.S. senator thinks Congress should wait for the U.N.- sponsored Iraq oil-for food investigation before passing judgment on the world body.

Sooo, Leahy thinks that a UN-sponsored investigation into its own dealings is something worth waiting for?????

#5 I wonder if Leahy will later call for a delay until the UN investigation of the Volker investigation has been completed. Of course, the conclusions of both can probably be summarized as: 1) There is no scandal, so there is no one to blame, and nothing bad ever happened, and 2) Fried grasshoppers are indeed nature's most perfect food.

#6 Who cares about making Kofi resign? The basic system of the UN is flawed, so what changes would that make? If the reports find massive fraud and deception, etc etc, then make a 25% cutback in US funding of the UN and see what the UN does to correct their problem. Hit them in their pocketbook and they will reform or fold. Whatever they do, they are irrelavant, anyway.

#7 What Paul said. It's enough to expose the lady as a whore. She can continue to walk the street but the US public won't pay for it any more.

The name of the game now is to start setting up parallel, regional security organizations that can actually address collective threats. Start with a CSCE-style grouping of Pacific and Asian democracies with US Australia Japan and India at its core.
