The United States shared with the Israelis the two-way wireless and satelite video feeds (provided by the raiding party's helmet-cams and drop-down transmitters) of the assault on bin-Laden's compound.

But the United Nations (UN) has over the years turned into an establishment that more closely resembles an...
