Me love you long time


iconThe Washington Post reports that U.N. officials are being investigated for pandering to the world's oldest profession, sometimes with pre-teen girls.

Yvette and her friends are also called kidogo usharatis, Swahili for small prostitutes. They loiter outside the camps of U.N. peacekeepers, hoping to sell their bodies for a mug of milk, a cold soda or -- best of all -- a single dollar. [...]

The United Nations is investigating 150 instances in which 50 peacekeeping troops or civilians in the Congo mission are suspected of having sexually abused or exploited women and girls, some as young as 12.

Hopefully this isn't what John Kerry meant when he said that he would use the U.N. to "reach out to other nations in a very different way from this administration."
