HOME-MADE pornographic videos shot by a United Nations logistics expert in theDemocratic Republic of Congo have sparked a sex scandal that threatens to become the UN’s Abu Ghraib.
The expert was a Frenchman who worked at Gomaairport as part of the UN’s $700 million-a-year effort to rebuild the war-shattered country. When police raided his home they discovered that he had turned his bedroom into a studio for videotaping and photographing sex sessions with young girls.
The bed was surrounded by large mirrors on three sides, according to a senior Congolese police officer. On the fourth side was a camera that he could operate from the bed with a remote control.
When the police arrived the man was allegedly about to rape a 12-year-old girl sent to him in a sting operation. Three home-made porn videos and more than 50 photographs were found.
The case has highlighted the apparently rampant sexual exploitation of Congolese girls and women by the UN’s 11,000 peacekeepers and 1,000 civilians at a time when the UN is facing many problems, including the Iraqi “oil-for-food” scandal and accusations of sexual harassment by senior UN staff in Geneva and New York.

Puleeeeeze. How can anyone in their right mind compare inflicting blaring non-stop sound, sleep deprivation, uncomfortable positions for long periods of time, and other "dreaded torture" on militant, stateless terrorists captured on the battlefield with raping and impregnanting innocent young girls? Has the world lost it's mind and common sense??
This is far more insidious than the purported Abu Ghraib "torture". There is NO.. I repeat nada, whit, zip, zero comparison between the two.
The Moroccan peacekeeping contingent based in Kisangani — a town on the Congo River with no road links to the outside world — had one of the worst reputations. A soldier accused of rape was apparently hidden in the barracks for a year.
In July 2002 the rebel commander Major-General Jean Pierre Ondekane, who subsequently became Minister of Defence in a postwar transitional government, told a top UN official that all that Monuc (the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo) would be remembered for in Kisangani was “for running after little girls”.
If this is the norm for UN peacekeepers in the Congo, it's no surprise that the Moroccan terrorists flooding into the Netherlands are advocating violence against the liberal sexual policies that dominate the country.
Mind you, this is *not* an endorsement of the terrorists who attempted to attack the "Red Light" district in Amsterdam. It is merely an observation that if this is the terrorists' only interaction with non-Muslim, UN "westerners" and policies, then they sure have a sordid, misconceived view of the West!
All courtesy of depraved UN workers.
Uh... don't help, UN. You are, as usual, more of a speedbump in the quest for peace.
