The UN's Special Fruitcake
It appears that Richard Falk, the new UN ‘Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories’ whose vile prejudice against Israel I wrote about here, believes the ‘neo-cons’ were, er, behind 9/11. Yup, he's a 'truther' -- someone who believes the US government carried out the attacks. The New York Sun reports:
On March 24 in an interview with a radio host and former University of Wisconsin instructor, Kevin Barrett, Mr. Falk said, ‘It is possibly true that especially the neoconservatives thought there was a situation in the country and in the world where something had to happen to wake up the American people. Whether they are innocent about the contention that they made that something happen or not, I don't think we can answer definitively at this point. All we can say is there is a lot of grounds for suspicion, there should be an official investigation of the sort the 9/11 commission did not engage in and that the failure to do these things is cheating the American people and in some sense the people of the world of a greater confidence in what really happened than they presently possess.’We knew the UN was corrupt. We knew the UN was bigoted. We knew the UN turned a blind eye to tyranny. But now we also know that it appoints officials whose beliefs are simply demented. The guy’s a fruitcake. What does that make the UN?
