   This editorial is talking about the genocide in darfur and how people are trying to change the problems that Darfur is having. Sudan announced that they are going to hire a commitee of their own to investigate human rights issues in the county of Darfur. They hired Ahmad Harun. The author talks about how this is just a terrible decision becuase this same guy hired armies to take part in the genocide its self. He says that this hurts the UN and makes them look like idiots. The author believes he should be charged for war crimes.

I agree with this guy. I do not think that it is right to hire someone to investigate the genocide who took part in the genocide himself. I am willing to bet that he will be byist because he could still be in the mind set of genocide. I can see how this could be a blow to the un. They have to have a person who was involved in the killings at their meetings. I think he should definately be tried for war crimes. Killing that many people is just wrong and he has no right to be involved with the cleaning up of the genocide. He deserves to be in jail.
