#1 the French supported the genocidaires in '94, not the UN. Im inclined, on first blush, to believe Kofi over the French on this.

#2 France is on the side of the French-speaking Hutus. The flight recorder could have been planted by French agents. Regardless of the veracity of French claims, this is a classic blame-the-victim move. The Tutsis were rebels against the Hutu-dominated Rwandan government. There is nothing in the realm of human morality, let alone Rwandan law, that excuses the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocents in reprisal for the death of a country's president. This is like attaching responsibility for the Holocaust to the Jewish guerrillas who assassinated German officers during WWII.

LH: is that like prefering the wreak of rancid milk to the stench of rotting piles of garbage?

#4 "Must be some OTHER flight recorder - the jungles around there are lousy with the things, y'know..."

Uh-huh...
