UNITED NATIONS A shipment containing 16 kilograms of cocaine was seized last week at the U.N.'s mail intake center, a New York Police Department spokesman said Thursday.
Paul Browne, NYPD's chief spokesman, said the drug was in a white bag evidently masquerading as a diplomatic pouch that raised suspicions when it was being scanned because it was stamped with what looked like a poorly concocted version of the U.N. logo.
Browne said here was no name or address on the shipment sent from Mexico City through Cincinnati.
U.N. security officials called the NYPD and Drug Enforcement Administration, which confirmed the substance inside the shipment intercepted Jan. 16 was cocaine, the police spokesman said.

Sounds like the boys at the UN were getting ready to write up another resolution and were going to party afterwards.

Endemic drug use would go a long way towards explaining some of the UN’s bizarre words and deeds.

I’m sure there’s a perfectly innocent explanation for this.

WOW!!! 16 kilograms of cocaine could lead to another Global Warming report.
Those dudes at the UN have one hell of a habit.

"Im sure theres a perfectly innocent explanation for this." Simply use the Sandy Berger defense. It works every time.

Pssst!? I have it on good authority that it was headed for the IPCC crowd.....they need something to bolster their collective confidence on their failing AGW world dominance plans.

Diabolically clever to avert any copyright infringement prosecution....

"Sandy Berger... whatever became of that fat thieving pig?" He's scurrying around 'K' Street like a rat in the shadows making millions MILLIONS every year lobbying and selling defense secrets. His new book deal will probably be announced soon.

Isn’t it amazing, all the large drug seizures all over the newspapers since Fast and Furious and the Cartel laundering scandal? This diplomatic pouch virtually jumped on someone’s lap.

My take: It was supposed to be Obama’s fix for the rest of the year. I wonder who was supposed to deliver it to him.
