U.S. Crusader Odd Man Out at U.N. - washingtonpost.com

Last year, John R. Bolton, then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations,
recruited Mark D. Wallace as the U.S. representative for U.N.
management and reform. Given that Bolton was a longtime critic of the
U.N. bureaucracy, no one expected that Wallace would go meekly about
his new job.

Bolton is now long gone, and while Wallace's mission has not changed, U.S. diplomacy at the United Nations has a decidedly different cast. Wallace's continued prosecutorial zeal is roiling sensibilities at a time when the United States is trying to put a more conciliatory face on its diplomacy and persuade the organization to play a larger role in Iraq. Wallace's actions have also prompted allegations from U.N. officials that he may have exaggerated his findings.

But Wallace has also drawn criticism from U.N. officials and foreign
delegates who charge he has hyped his findings and in a manner that has
drawn comparisons to the U.S. claims of Saddam Hussein's
weapons of mass destruction. For their part, U.N. development officials
claim that Wallace's inquiry has led to a string of unsupported "wild"
allegations against the U.N. agency.
