Guardian Unlimited: reports on flak being thrown by UN ambassador John Bolton at a UN draft document reshaping the body's goals, to the tune of 750 amendments. Among the suggestions: "The Bolton amendments, published in the US press, seek to play down the emphasis given to alleviating poverty, and expunge all references to the millennium development goals, including the target for wealthy countries to donate at least 0.7 % of national income to the developing world. America currently gives less than 0.2% in such aid.The changes would also scrap provisions in the draft calling for action against global warming, and remove endorsements of the international criminal court and the comprehensive test-ban treaty - both of which are opposed by the Bush administration." What a shameful gang of rogues....
