Spy games come to New York for UN General Assembly (AP)

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addresses the 66th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Thursday, Sept. 22, 2011. When Iran’s president accused the U.S. at the United Nations General Assembly in 2010 of orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, American diplomats were not caught flat-footed by the tirade. Even before Ahmadinejad finished his incendiary rant, U.S. diplomats marched out in protest and were ready with a written statement condemning his comments. The walkout hinted at one of the well-known but seldom spoken truths about the United Nations: The international organization, which was founded in the name of peace and security, is also a hotbed of spying and clandestine operations.
