Look at this way, the US propoganda media pumps out negative news about the UN to the point that Americans begin to hate it...then when this UN report is released showing how the US lies then who's going to pay attention? Anyone betting if this will make the headlines on the US newsites? Americans losing faith in U.N., survey finds By Betsy Pisik THE WASHINGTON TIMES September 12, 2006 NEW YORK -- Nearly three-quarters of the American people think the United Nations is no longer effective and could support cutting U.S. contributions to the world body, according to a poll released yesterday by the conservative Hudson Institute. Respondents were primarily concerned about corruption and mismanagement, according to pollsters, who note that three years ago oil-for-food and other scandals barely registered. Fifty-seven percent of respondents agreed that "if the U.N. cannot be reformed and made more effective, it should be scrapped" and replaced. Thirty-eight percent disagreed. Exactly half of those surveyed felt the world body undermines U.S. national security interests, while 34 percent say it promotes them. But disengagement does not seem to be on people's minds: 73 percent said the United States should take a more active role in the United Nations, because "it is the best way to influence world affairs." Some 24 percent disagreed. Eight hundred people responded to the phone survey conducted by Luntz Maslansky Strategic Research, a Virginia-based polling firm with close ties to the Republican Party.

So Bush and Congress are much more credible than the IAEA and the CIA? You do your country no favours AC. |

Infact this news could help to wake people up and stop the war with iran as a result of Bush Co lies. I wonder how many pages this thread will go to before it dies with no interest. As a matter of fact the same report was posted by another poster earlier without much reply. WHY? doesn't anyone want to know the truth? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 143355 Sweden 09/15/2006 05:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dont leave out some reports have this added to that same story... The subcommittee's report also insinuates that the IAEA may be in cahoots with Tehran in covering up Iran's nuclear ambitions. The report alleges that an IAEA inspector might have been removed at Iran's request "for not adhering to an unstated IAEA policy barring IAEA officials from telling the whole truth about the Iranian nuclear program." The IAEA shot back that the claim was "an outrageous and dishonest suggestion," but Rogers stood by it Thursday. "The Iranians said take him off the program, and they said OK. You can't have Iran getting to pick who is their inspectors," Rogers said. The IAEA has been down this road before, when it entered the fray over Iraq's weapons program before the 2003 U.S. invasion. During that tussle, the Bush administration criticized the agency for being too cautious and opposed the reappointment of agency chief Mohammed El-Baradei. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 122539 United Kingdom 09/15/2006 05:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The letter, which was first reported on by The Washington Post, also says the report erroneously says that IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei removed a senior nuclear inspector from the team investigating Iran's nuclear program "for concluding that the purpose of Iran's nuclear program is to construct weapons." In fact, the inspector was sidelined on Tehran's request, and the Islamic republic had a right to ask for a replacement under agreements that govern all states relationships with the agency, said the letter, calling the report's version "incorrect and misleading." "In addition," says the letter, "the report contains an outrageous and dishonest suggestion that such removal might have been for 'not having adhered to an unstated IAEA policy barring IAEA officials from telling the whole truth about the Iranian nuclear program.'" |

ElBaradei's criticism of the U.S. standpoint on Iraq and subsequent perceptions that he was soft on Iran in his staff's investigation of suspicions Tehran's nuclear activities may be a cover for a weapons program led to a failed attempt last year by Washington to prevent his re-election. |
