INCREDIBLE – AT 7:57 A.M. ET:  Brought to you first this morning as still another reminder of the vast corruption at the UN.  From Fox:

A watchdog group is asking the U.N. to immediately remove a Libyan envoy from her post as an investigator on human rights violations by mercenaries, saying that as a mouthpiece for a regime that’s “deploying hired guns to massacre its own people” it's “outrageous” to have her in that position.

Najat Al-Hajjaji has been one of five members of “The Working Group on the use of mercenaries as a means of violating human rights and impeding the exercise of the rights of peoples to self-determination” since its inception in 2005.

Among other things, the group was established to monitor mercenaries and mercenary-related activities around the world, study their impact on human rights, create proposals to further the protection of human rights against threats posed by mercenaries and draft international principles to encourage respect for human rights by companies offering mercenary services, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights website.

But U.N. Watch, an organization that monitors the performance of the United Nations, says Al-Hajjaji should be the “last person” charged with any of those duties – especially now.

“At a time when [Libyan leader Muammar] Qaddafi is using mercenaries to kill his own people, it is outrageous that one of his long-time representatives would sit on the world’s highest human rights body as a supposed defender of human rights -- and, of all things, as a defender of victims of mercenaries,” U.N. Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer told FoxNews.com.

COMMENT:  And yet, we were recently lectured to by our UN ambassador, Susan Rice, about how much the United States needs the UN.  And we're told that President Barack (just call me Jimmah) Obama is reluctant to take any action without UN approval. 

It's bad enough to have the insane run loose.  To put our future in their hands makes us just as insane.
