Lowering the Tone
Posted by Heather Hurlburt

Switching away for one moment from our high-minded discussion of military reform, wouldn't want our readers to miss Steve Clemons' juicy little scoop on past instances of Bad Bolton Behavior this morning.  (And this quote from Powell's chief of staff is quite nice too.  Great shootin', Steve.  Thanks to Greg Fox for pointing this out.)

Quite apart from the problem of rebuilding the US-UN relationship, may I just mention how delighted I would be if abusiveness to subordinates became a disqualifier for high apppointed office?  Although, given some of the internal issues the UN's been struggling with in recent months, I suppose one could argue that it makes him a perfect fit.

Abusive treatment of subordinates is definitely something that should be corrected and I've seen great strides in the corporate world (generally). However, I was shocked at how prevalent such behavior is in government offices, coupled with intransigent post World War II discrimination against women amongst management. However, as I've always stated, Bolton will be approved unless he has one of his subordinates in a freezer in his basement.

The problem with "recent" UN problems is that they are not at all recent. I've been following UN Sex-For-Food/Protection shemes at refugee camps since 1992 in Bosnia. Financial corruption amongst the UN apparatus and cooperative NGOs is widespread. Also, the abuses of women and subordinates in the UN Bureaucracy go far beyond anything Bolton is being accused of, yet Kofi Annan has just recently dismissed investigations of senior officials for sexual harrasment at the office. None of this is 'new' or 'recent', just more widely covered.
