"THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that senior Obama administration
officials have been telling foreign governments that the administration
intends to support an effort next week at the United Nations to set up
an independent commission, under UN auspices, to investigate Israel's
behavior in the Gaza flotilla incident. The White House has apparently
shrugged off concerns from elsewhere in the U.S. government that a) this
is an extraordinary singling out of Israel, since all kinds of much
worse incidents happen around the world without spurring UN
investigations; b) that the investigation will be one-sided, focusing
entirely on Israeli behavior and not on Turkey or on Hamas; and c) that
this sets a terrible precedent for outside investigations of incidents
involving U.S. troops or intelligence operatives as we conduct our own
war on terror."
