Hmm.. I thought more people on here would be against the ethics of this situation. It is quite low to spy on what is ostensibly an internationalist organisation, and does demean the UN as yet another 'intelligence' target... Besides probably being a violation of international law.
It is primarily these types of actions that attempt to render the UN irrelevant. A self-fufilling 'prophecy', if you will. Look at Tony Blair's recent advocation of law permitting unilateral preemptive action against 'rogue states'..
As for whether it should have been announced by Claire Short, it is in the public interest to know these happenings, I believe.
