Feeling a Bit Woolsey

CALIFORNIA REPRESENTATIVE Lynn Woolsey wants the United States to sign something she refers to as CEDAW–the United Nations’ Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. So she sent out a “dear colleague” letter that reads, in part: “Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, United States, Iran. Which one of these is different from the others??? If you guessed the United States–you’re wrong. If you guessed Saudi Arabia, you’re right.” The Saudis, you see, have signed the treaty. The United States has not.
