More trouble for the U.N. - Where will it end?

Reuters is reporting the investigation of sexual abuse committed by U.N. peacekeepers in the Congo:

The United Nations is investigating about 150 allegations of sexual abuse by U.N. civilian staff and soldiers in the Congo, some of them recorded on videotape, a senior U.N. official said on Monday.

The accusations include pedophilia, rape and prostitution, said Jane Holl Lute, an assistant secretary-general in the peacekeeping department.

Captain Ed of the Captain's Quarters informs his readers that this scandal, which is much, much worse than what happened at Abu Ghraib, has been around for months, yet few people have heard about it. As the good Captain puts it, "Does abuse only become noteworthy when Americans are accused of it?"
