Whistleblower-free

That's what Kofi Annan is trying to make the UN. This is the story about how Annan wants to gag Heidi Postlewait and Andrew Thomson, two of three co-authors of Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures, a True Story from Hell on Earth. The authors chronicle their UN service in Cambodia, Somalia, Haiti, Rwanda, Liberia and Bosnia. Postlewait and Thomson are on the UN payroll, their third co-author is not.

If dissenters are fired and suppressed at the UN, what type of government does that remind you of?

If you said ours, go read Mother Jones and get a brain enema; if you said Soviet, China, fascist, anyone in the Mideast other than Israel, you're on the right track.
