This is CBS, Eye on the World. I'm John Batchel. I welcome my colleague Peter Berkowitz of the Hoover Institution, writing his column at Real Clear Politics, about a tale of two reports.

0:15.8

The first report from the United Nations Human Rights Council, 58 Session, entitled Independent International

0:24.1

Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel.

0:30.3

And the report goes on with a summary conclusion and 44 pages of what overwhelmed me in reading it was fiction.

0:40.3

That's a polite term for it.
