Kofi is “Horrified”
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Secretary General of the United Nations, equating the savage, prolonged decapitation of an American hostage with the humiliation of Iraqi fedayeen prisoners: U.N. chief ‘horrified’ by Iraq beheading. (Hat tip: Ted.)
The U.N. spokesman said, Annan “condemns all killings of innocent civilians in Iraq as he condemns all abuse of prisoners and other violations of international law. Now more than ever the secretary-general once again appeals to all parties to adhere strictly to the fundamental precepts of human rights and principles of international humanitarian law.”
