I found this quote over at the American Scene. It’s from a Washington Post story on John Bolton going to the UN (though the linked Post story doesn’t have the quote anymore). Anyway here it is:

Some U.N. ambassadors said they expected Bolton would have to moderate his views on the United Nations. “When you’re outside the United Nations you can be a very strong critic,” said Algeria’s U.N. ambassador, Abdallah Baali. But “when you join the U.N. and you work with U.N. people then you progressively change your attitude.”

Maybe I’m miss-reading this, and lord knows I’m ignorant when it comes to the finer points of Algerian diplomacy, but how would the Algerian ambassador know this? Was he calling for reform in a previous career and I missed it?
