The Briefing - 12.30.04

The year is almost finished, but the investigation into Rathergate still languishes somewhere in CBS headquarters.

In other CBS news, CBS CEO Leslie Moonves married CBS reporter Joie Chen. Doesn't that break some kind of ethics and standards at the network. Wait, I forgot it's CBS.

First a UN official calls US aid to the Tsunami victims "stingy." President Bush steps up to the plate and creates a coalition of nations to provide aid to those countries hit hardest by the Tsunami. Those nations include the US, Japan, India, and Australia.

Now, another UN official is saying that President Bush is "undermining" the UN's relief efforts. International Development Secretary Calre Short told the BBC that the UN is the only organization that has the "moral authority" to do the job.

Unfortunately, the UN lost any moral authority or the ability to properly coordinate any effort after funneling billions of dollars to Saddam Hussein.

Anything the US and other countries can do to undermine the UN is welcome.
