Kofi Annan trying to boost U.N. morale today:

“I know it has cast a shadow over all of us and you have no idea what a personal pain it has been for me as secretary-general and as a father having to deal with this situation,” Annan said during Tuesday’s meeting, according to video of the meeting.
“To see the institution you have devoted your life to being hammered and attacked, in most cases unfairly, was very difficult to digest, and I can imagine what impact it had on you and on staff morale.”
He added: “It is also unfortunate that my own son seems to have been associated somehow with this program, and of course that investigation is going on.”

Unfortunate? You’re the bossman. The buck stops with you. And the U.N.’s pain is you. Boost morale by resigning. And maybe the place will have a fighting chance at credibility. Maybe.
