US Congress Not Happy About 'UN Helping Terrorists' Thing

US Congressmen have noticed that an organization tasked with feeding and housing fourth and fifth generation Palestinian "refugees" might not be the ideologically unbiased operation that the UN is supposed to implement. In that "they give money to terrorists kind of bias:

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) does not check agency beneficiaries against a list of known terrorists identified by the police or Israeli government, US Congressmen Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Steven Rothman (D-NJ) told US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in a letter released for publication on Thursday. In the letter, Kirk and Rothman cited a recently released United Nations Board of Auditors report that included a harsh assessment of UNRWA's management, efficiency and security. Additionally, Kirk and Rothman called on Rice to do more to ensure UNRWA is complying with federal anti-terrorism laws.

Yeah, we're sure that the State Department will get right on that. And after they're done with that one, they'll launch another investigation into why there are UN-funded refugee camps nursing some of the most radical Arab populations on the planet in the first place. Then the New York Times will declare that "militants" are "terrorists" after all.
