UN Probe of Hariri Killing Begins!
They say the trail grows cold after 48 hours. The UN missed that deadline by just 2,448 hours, as its crack investigator finally touched down in Beirut today, three months and 12 days after the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
In the UN press briefing today, a reporter asked if the investigation might be starting just a tad too late, and the UN spokesperson soothingly reassured the reporters that Detlev Mehlis, Commissioner of the UN International Independent Investigation Commission on the assassination of Hariri, has had "quite an extensive" briefing.
Here's the UN release on the appointment. I liked how they're going to have 45 investigators from 25 countries. How very, very UN: Overstaff, overspend and underperform in the name of internationalism.
Update: Read Steve's comment below. He nailed this one.
