Had your coffee? Looking forward to the day? In a good mood?

I’ll fix that. From the Washington Times:

NEW YORK — The U.N. specialist on illegal executions plans to probe the use of deadly force by U.S. troops and military contractors in Iraq when he visits the United States next spring.

But...wait. What about all those “illegal executions” by the people we’re fighting, you know little things like blowing up big bombs in crowded market places, killing women just because you can, beheadings, etc? Our intrepid U.N. investigator doesn’t see any point in investigating those:

Asked whether he also planned to visit Iraq to look into ethnic cleansing and militia killings there, human rights rapporteur Philip Alston said he saw no point because his movements would be too severely restricted by security concerns.

Tell me something...what in the name of sanity happens to people when they are elected to high office? Does their IQ drop as their prestige rises? Why isn’t someone in our government telling this politically correct U.N. clown to pound sand? But...here’s the icing on the cake. Instead of saying, “go away, little man, and come back after you’ve investigated the barbarians we’re fighting,” we’re doing just the opposite:

Nonetheless, a U.S. representative at the Friday meeting of the so-called Third Committee, which deals with economic, social and human rights issues, said the Bush administration welcomes Mr. Alston’s visit.

So, is this the first step to answering to the U.N. and having our officers and soldiers put on international trial for supposed crimes? Think about it.

Still having a good morning? Told you I’d fix that.
