"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"

Bang Bang at the UN

by Lee

There’s weirdness afoot at the United Nations.

A body was found inside United Nations headquarters on Monday, a U.N. spokesman said. U.N. security and the New York police department are investigating the matter.

The U.N. spokesman said the person had been shot, and that the body was discovered inside the building’s third-floor lounge at about 11:30 a.m. He declined to give any details on the deceased person pending notification of the family.

The spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the world body considered the shooting an “isolated incident.’’

Please allow me to remind you, gentle reader, of the piece of art that sits outside the UN building in New York.

I would also ask you to take a look at this post.  It seems that guns are bad, unless they’re being used to protect Kofi Annan.  Or kill anonymous people inside the UN building, it would seem.
