ElBaradei warns US against eavesdropping on IAEA
2005-01-05
VIENNA - IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei Wednesday warned the United States against spying on the UN atomic agency saying it would be a blow to "multilateralism and the United Nations system as we know it."
Gee, he's sez it like that would be a bad thing

#26  Hmm, something he doesn't want us to know?

Tango Foxtrot Bravo.

Probably, We already know. And there's not a damne thing he can do if we really do want to know. Given his and the UN's prefidy and incompetence, we are morally compelled to monitor them.

Thats why we want his ass dumped.

#24  If ElBEE wasn't such a no-mind whimp, we wouldn't have to spy (so much).

#23  Just wondering... are there water systems (drinking fountains, sinks, toliets) whatever within say 50 feet of his cone of silence? Also, natural gas lines are interesting too. Maybe a stove or dryer?

#22  "Yung Guy, Moto Detective!" had his points too...

FT has to be heard to be properly appreciated, though. It's radio, y'see...

#21  You just want first dibs on the "take". But didn't a Haliburton subsidiary build that room?


Bwahahaha!

#20  He can always rent the bug proof room of the German UN representation.

Triple charges apply. Of course this only covers U.S. bugs :-)

#18  So ElBaradei is willing to admit that he doesn't want us knowing what he knows, eh?

#17  I thought it was the 'cone of silence' which always worked so well for Maxwell Smart......

I always wondered where the name 'Nick Danger' came from...

#13  I think he's entirely right. ONLY spying on the IAEA would be a blow against the multilateralism thingy.

I hope they spy on Kofi as well.

#12  That's okay, Mohammed. This is a soundproof room. No one can hear us in here.

#7  #6 How can an appointed representative deny a member of the security council? There should be total 100% transparency.

Geez, you make it sound like the UN is actually an accountable gov't, like a democracy (or Constitutional Republic) or something! I don't think so!

#5  How about we seize him and have underwear put on his head instead? To really make it torture, he can choose between the Hildebeast's undies or Madam Al-Bright.
