The UN and The Lancet certainly seem to think so. Thanks to UNICEF, some 70 million people have been exposed to toxic level of arsenic. One wonders where the outcry is on this story.

    Sounds like more right wing anti-UN garbage, from someone who thinks all foreign aid is bad. Notice the self pity involved: if it was the US or private enterprise, we would hear about this all week long. Is this what passes for intelligent discourse on the right these days, cheap little hit pieces from right wing theocon semi satiric hacks?
