The UN continues its’ love affair with Israel

The by-line for this article in the Jerusalem Post reads:
Annan appoints anti-Israel mediator
That about sums up the whole situation succinctly but it’s pertinent that even the JPost article now suggests that the UN mediator will be negotiating a prisoner swap.
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has decided to appoint his former special adviser Lakhdar Brahimi to mediate a possible agreement for swapping Lebanese prisoners in return for freeing the reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, The Jerusalem Post has learned. Brahimi recently publicly expressed his support for talking directly with Hizbullah.

So much for UNSC 1701 resolution and the unconditional release of the kidnapped Israeli reservists.

May I assume the headline was written with tongue in cheek?
