Spying at the UN

Two stories have broken recently regarding the spy scandal at the UN:

1. The criminal charges against Katharine Gun, the UK intelligence worker who blew the whistle on the operation, have been dropped.

2. Clare Short, the former International Development Secretary under Tony Blair, is charging that the spy operation was not only directed at rival delegates, but also against UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

This is all being reported in the British press, of course. But, as Norman Solomn says, the US media has pretty much ignored and marginalized this story in the 11 months since the Observer broke it.
