This story was posted and pulled last night.

I posted a comment that if this was a US army story, the UN/world community/MSM and the DNC would be yelling for W's head and the execution of the soldiers involved.

Where's the outrage?

Realisticly speaking, the article's title is trying to paint a picture of forcible rape, while the actual text shows the situation was actually one of girls (some underage) trying to survive through prostitution, and the UN troops securing sex by sharing their rations and pay.

The article noted that often the identification of the troops involved was difficult because it was too dark. If it's too dark to identify the guy, then how was the trooper supposed to be able to accurately tell the age of the hooker?

I dislike the UN as much as anybody here, but much of this is a hit job. Troops far away from home will tend to try to hook up with the local girls unless kept on a very tight leash.
