Genocide denier Natsios resigns as envoy to Sudan.

Andrew Natsios, the U.S. special envoy for Sudan, resigned today. During his tenure, Natsios promised that the U.S. would spend no more than $1.6 billion on the Iraq reconstruction, denied that genocide was occurring Darfur, and admitted that sanctions against Sudan were purposefully toothless. His likely replacement, Richard Williamson, has served in the UN, and called for U.S. action in Darfur as early as 2004. According to the Chicago-Sun Times, “Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld is among the public officials that Williamson most admires.”
