MINDBOGGLINGLY STUPID: No, that isn't a description of Bob Herbert's latest column. It's a description of the UN's faith in the willingness of former Iraqi secret service agents to provide "security" for their Baghdad headquarters.

Don't believe it? Well, I was surprised, too. I doubt that any Pentagon propagandist could've come up with a better way to demonstrate that the UN was (and is) embarrassingly unprepared to head up the occupation of Iraq. But that is exactly what Bob Herbert thinks should it should do. According to Bob,
As quickly as possible, we should turn the country over to a genuine international coalition, headed by the U.N. and supported in good faith by the U.S.
As far as I'm concerned, good faith support means not turning the future of Iraq over to an organization that trusts Saddam's henchmen to protect the lives of its employees.
