KINSHASA, Congo — Militiamen grilled bodies on a spit and boiled two girls alive as their mother watched, U.N. peacekeepers charged Wednesday, adding cannibalism to a list of atrocities allegedly carried out by one of the tribal groups fighting in northeast Congo.

this is how fucked up the UN is

[sNyx]

I read, pretty messy
wish fox news gave more info
their articals leave me asking so much

[Gusto]

The UN didn't do this, they saw the rebels in the Congo doing it and they are charging them with it.

Looks like wum needs to go back to Reading Comprehension 101.

Awww does anyone else wish wum really was a puffy furry dog typing away in his computer with his smilies?

[neoh]

you suck at the internet

[impure]

how can people do that to eachother?
do you think that if those women did anything to wrong the millitamen that it was really THAT horrible so as to warrant cooking the daughters alive?
come on now, the UN is a wonderful thing, it's a shame bush goes against their wishes, it seems as though he's rendering the UN obsolete.

First mistake was reading FoxNews, that is a very biased media company, a right wing veiw that is just a extension of its founders beliefs. If you want a good article go to BBC news they it covered quite comperhensively.

[Gusto]

no, first mistake was reading it wrong.

Let's not be naive now... Everyone knows the only reason we don't eat each other is because people taste like feet and are either too fatty or very tough & stringy, but almost never juicy. That being said, it's not like there're a tonne of options in the Congo; I mean, if you're eating out, you've just gotta pick something that's on the menu.

Anyways, what would you know? You're a vegetarian; you know, the one in the pot.

one more time: you read it wrong.

I can't find anything on BBC sites about this. There is a reference to the person who is supposed to have seen this happen in 2003 "Zainabo Alfani" but no additional info when I search on that name, just additional copies of the Fox text.

So maybe this is a faked story.

Those 4 links are all just a day or at most a few days old and have no additional information or references. If this really happened in 2003 you would expect to find additional information that would have been around for a year or two.

actually when i was looking for those links, i found lots that took place in 2003, but didn't post them because they weren't current. just google it, you'll find some.

reading this made my stomach turn.

No, I didn't. I didn't read it at all. Just as you have assumed this, I assumed a bunch of stuff was going on somewhere for some unknown reason. However, I think I was more-or-less on the ball with my uninformed statements. I didn't mean that the good chaps from the UN were eating anybody, just that there was a gettogether--clearly not a Congan potluck of any sort--and I, for one, would feel a little out-of-place if I was the one jerk who parades in with his alternative meal selection because I'm not really into conforming.
