C'mon, Ty. sgtclub asked a very simple question -- will this get a fraction of the coverage that the US torture of prisoners got. While he may have every interest in smearing the UN, that was not the thrust of his post.
The thrust of his post was the effort to blame the media because Americans might actually be more interested in knowing if their government is torturing prisoners in Iraq than in knowing whether soldiers on loan to the UN from Malaysia or whereever are hiring hookers in Africa. His point was silly enough, you don't need to mischaracterize it to ridicule it.
