UN Drags Out Syria/Lebanon Inquiry

I loved (in a frustrated sort of way) the blithe diplomatic blame-denial of this statement from today's UN press briefing:
Question: Steph, could you comment on the Secretary-General’s decision to delay a final report on Syria’s military withdrawal from Lebanon?

Associate Spokesman
: The report was not so much delayed as it was decided that it would be released at a later date ...
If you click through to the link, you'll find some intense questioning about Maurice Strong, his relations with various Koreans, and the status of his diplomatic immunity ... something that has suddenly become quite important to him.
