Bugging offices is a 'tradition'

[dArKeR]

London - Bugging the United Nations secretary general both at his offices and at his home is a "tradition", Boutros Boutros Ghali, who held the post from 1992 to 1996, told the BBC on Thursday.

Boutros Ghali was interviewed by the British public broadcaster amid uproar over the allegation from a former member of Prime Minister Tony Blair's cabinet that Britain had bugged the current holder of the post, Kofi Annan, during the run-up to the Iraq war last year.

You're a Whore Mr. Ghali and you belong in prison or the Bush Crime Family. Nice example for the children of the Earth!

1. a tradition for criminals perhaps n/t

3. Think Rat Robertson and Scary Falwell will speak out on this moral issue?

[yo-yo-ma]

4. LOL

For them, I think, morality has little to do with ethics and certainly nothing to do with lying or with breaking the law. Morality, rather, is about gay bashing, criminalizing poverty, electing republicans, etc.

5. There's more here than meets the eye. Why would Ghali say this?

Wouldn't now be the time for a moral man to stand up and say 'this must stop!'

Seems like he's a Bush Crime Family puppet. Trying to 'desensitise' the seriousness of the crime. This is what i would expect out of Whore's Russert, Fineman, Woodward, Novak... not out of a UN Secretary General.

The only conclusion is that he's was, is and always will be a puppet operative. Appointed by the Anglo UK and US world. I'm so shocked he would say this because it discredits all his work at the UN and in the world. He was always a biased leader. Why would he come out and say this? The only answer is that the UK Blair and US Bush Regimes deteriorating and in disarray they are calling on ALL their 'deep cover' agents to attempt to rescue their fascist regimes.

Lastlly, not for one second do I, or I imagiine any knowledgable person in the media, believe the Bush Adm. had nothing to do with this operation. I believe Bush personally authorized this operation. Instead of using Cubans, he used his Lap Dog.

8. It does provide cover

for what is probably a crime - his voice adds a legitimacy to the violations. But exactly who is behind it, I don't know. Sometimes individuals who have been in such positions of power, even when they act on their own, their actions serve the interests of others in power. There needn't be any string pulling to get him to talk.

Seems like Ghali is a US puppet. Trying to 'desensitise' the seriousness of the crime. This is what i would expect out of Whore's Russert, Fineman, Woodward, Novak... not out of a UN Secretary General.

2. So was the keeping of slaves and beating of wives

I'd think certain traditions are best not kept.

6. Tradition!

I agree. Cheating and lying about it are traditional Republican family values.

Ask Bill Frist...

7. Why the harsh words?

Boutros Ghali is only telling the truth, that "Any country which has the technical capacity to do this will do it. It is unfortunate but this is a reality."

He did also say it is unacceptable, but that didn't get reported.

9. Thugs And Their Bugs

If an Iraqi bugging device had been found in the Oval ofice in early '03, I guess that would just have been quietly written off as "tradition" as well?

11. Perhaps you don't understand our press

Over here in the US, if the UN bugging story gets reported at all, they will use this statement, but delete the 'it is unacceptable' part.

Whether he meant to or not, his statement will be used to justify Bush's actions. Bet on it. That's where the harsh words aimed at him come from.
