UNITED NATIONS - The United Nations is investigating whether a senior official at one of its agencies, Justin Leites, violated U.N. rules and the organization's spirit of international neutrality by taking a paid leave of absence last year to work as a Kerry-Edwards presidential campaign official in his home state of Maine.

The only thing you missed was some blue-helmeted, child-raping Zimbabwean laughing at them.
And a blue-helmeted, child-raping Frenchman taking porno pictures to sell on the Internet
Is the problem that he took a leave of absence when he didn't need to?
Not just Leites. His boss is in trouble for giving him a PAID leave of absence to work for Kerry.
WTH? No conflict of interest on his -- or the UN's part there... </S>
Did it violate US campaign laws?
A PAID leave of absence???
Doesn't that constitute U.N. support for a U.S. candidate????
Don't want to put the ky-bosh on all this Democrat mo-men-tum!
What's the opposite of "mo-men-tum?"
Would that be "less-men-tum" or perhaps "fewer-men-tum?"
LOL!
I think it's Joe-men-tum... referring to Lieberman's de-balling during the 2004 Primary.

UN official worked on Kerry's campaign, May 7, 2005
Benny Avni of the New York Sun has yet another scoop in covering the UN. The New York Times must find this rather emabarrassing, considering their once-upon-a-time status as the newspaper of record. The biggest financial scandal in the history of the world, taking place in a New York-based institution, with the highest profile imaginable. And the Times is consistently outdone by an upstart broadsheet with a fraction of its resources. Hmm, what do you suppose the problem might be?
The United Nations is investigating whether a senior official at one of its agencies, Justin Leites, violated U.N. rules and the organization's spirit of international neutrality by taking a paid leave of absence last year to work as a Kerry-Edwards presidential campaign official in his home state of Maine.
The investigation at the United Nations Development Program, a well funded program that oversees distribution of aid in developing countries and operates around the globe, calls into question the significance of the circle of Americans with ties to the Democratic Party that surrounds Secretary-General Annan at the top level of U.N. management.
Twelve UNDP staff members filed an official complaint with the internal investigative arm of UNDP. The document alleges that involvement by the agency's internal communication chief, Mr. Leites, in Senator Kerry's presidential campaign places election advisers and other U.N. operatives worldwide in jeopardy.

Thanks for the ping!
as always, pleased to provide the ping on the Kerry ping list -
on or off, let me know.
The MSM is also in it to the hilt... it's the Matrix!
Good stuff!
Are your pings more in the "Media Shenanigans/Schadenfreude" vein?
'Are your pings more in the "Media Shenanigans/Schadenfreude" vein?'
more, actually, what can we do with the news? ...Like Tonk says, it's important to keep news of this guy available, so that we can keep track of his constant flips and dishonest promises (Sign the 180!), and get the people of Massachusetts ready to finally run someone against him or Kennedy with as much info as possible......
and of course, we always hope there's a picture to photo-shop...if not him, Tereayyyyyyyyyyyyysa......
