This reads almost like a spam letter.  The second sentence starts off with a 
staggering aside ...

            "Anne Veneman recently took over the post of the Executive
Director of the United Nations International Children's Fund (UNICEF), but
has already made some startling changes to the organization.  Veneman, who
was picked by President Bush for the position... "

How did the President of United States get to pick the Executive Director of 
a United NATIONS body?  Remind me what USA didn't sign - The Innocenti 
Declaration, or was it the Convention on the Rights of the Child?   Or even 
both?

And how was a person with ties to the babyfood industry, if this is true, 
become appointed to UNICEF of all places?

If this letter is true, it's a world gone mad.  The foxes have taken over 
the hen-houses.  We cannot imagine that Ms Veneman is completely unsupported 
in her new role of reversing gains of the past ...
