	Bolton has Been Trying to Kill the Human Rights Council from the Beginning \| TPMCafe
		This entire theatrical production in which Bolton failed to explicitly state what he was instructed to convey tracks eerily close to instructions he was given by the State Department in the past with which he personally disagreed.
		Because if Jan Eliasson moves forward with the establishment of the Human Rights Council in a General Assembly vote without American support -- which many nations are now advocationg -- Bolton and the conservative right wing have a tangible 2006 election issue that justifies further brinksmanship over the UN budget and UN reform issues.
		Perhaps Eliasson failed to read the news reports about this -- or to anticipate Bolton's efforts to obfuscate and hide his true intentions -- and has given Bolton an easy target because of the simple majority requirement for membership.
