The U.N.'s Congo sex scandal: Where's the MSM?

Michelle Malkin gives us a rundown of the U.N.'s latest scandal:
...Didier Bourguet.... [is] a United Nations senior official from France accused of running an Internet pedophile ring in the Congo, where the U.N. was supposed to be protecting vulnerable people.

What's disturbing is that this scandal is not new! It's been around for months. Very little has been reported or done about it. As Michelle points out, the L.A. Times reports that "Bourguet's case is the only one that has been prosecuted among 150 allegations against about 50 soldiers and U.N. civilian officials who have served in the Congo peacekeeping mission." Can you imagine the outrage and outcry there would have been had the U.S. dragged its feet on investigating and prosecuting those involved in the Abu Ghraib scandal like the U.N. is doing with this scandal? It's ridiculous!

And where is the mainstream media? They were all over Abu Ghraib, so why not this? I guess for something like this to be a top news story day in and day out it needs to be perpetrated by the U.S. armed forces or the Bush administration.
