At the United Nations, President Bush and Kofi Annan * clashed over Iraq and international law* yesterday during the opening of the General Assembly. Annan said * “Today the rule of law is at risk around the world.”* His comments come a week after he charged the invasion of Iraq was illegal. Among other things he noted how Iraqi prisoners had been “disgracefully abused.” Meanwhile President Bush * defended the invasion of Iraq* and said freedom was finding its way in Iraq and Afghanistan. And he called on UN member nations to help in Iraq. We’ll have more on this in a few minutes.
