Hehe.. ok, guess Dennis won't get tagged for this one then.

This bit was outrageous! From snopes.com:

--snip--
We can substantiate that the two checkable points in the rant do indeed stand up to scrutiny: The United Nations Commission on Human Rights is chaired by Najat Al-Hajjaji of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, and Iraq was selected to head the United Nations' Conference on Disarmament scheduled to be held in Geneva beginning in May 2003. (Which country chairs the U.N. Conference on Disarmament is determined through "purely automatic rotation by alphabetical order.") However, in mid-February Iraq informed the U.N. that it was giving up its turn at the rotating presidency of the disarmament forum; since Iran had already given up its turn to chair the body as well, the position fell upon the next country on the alphabetical list, Ireland.
--end--

So is it Iraq or not?

As I read that, I thought it was a little cheesy for Miller, and started to opine what Mark Steyn could do with the same material. Aha! The IHT got sucked in. Good. You'd think they would have checked with Miller before using stuff that they thought was his, woodencha?
