*Sigh*

Very disappointing, Ms Rosett. Why not pursue some actual scandals? God knows there’s enough of them, and your work on Oil-for-food has shown that. But no, it’s time to run after another piece of trivia.

Scoop! Ban Ki Moon’s daughter works for a completely separate organisation. Shock! The UN Secretariat doesn’t have access to UNICEF’s personnel records! Scandal! Ban is clearly implicated in -

Oh, hold on. “We’re not accusing Mr. Ban of any wrongdoing.” So he’s not actually implicated in any wrongdoing – you just got put on hold, and now the Sun is throwing a hissy fit.

Maybe Daniel Freedman was met by a “wall of silence” because Ban’s office doesn’t have time to deal with trivia questions from a local newspaper with a limited circulation?
