In the wake of the bombing that killed 23 people at the United Nations Baghdad headquarters, some survivors are now accusing the U.N. of making them, in effect, sitting ducks.

As the U.N. mission in Baghdad works to put the devastating truck bomb attack behind it, the organization finds itself embattled in a controversy, reports CBS News Correspondent Kimberly Dozier.

CBS News has learned that some of the U.N. employees evacuated from Baghdad believe their bosses put the mission ahead of their safety once, and may do it again.

Survivors of last Tuesday's attack confronted their bosses in a heated, closed-door meeting in Amman today.

A source that attended said employees asked why the U.N. kept them in Baghdad prior to the suicide attack, even though the organization was already at a threat level of four.

Bremer snubbed the aid agencies by saying the U.S. could not protect them - now they are responding by pulling out. Once again, failed diplomacy on the part of Bush Inc. What will it take before they admit that they need a massive change in policy in Iraq? Thousands of dead Americans?
