Meanwhile, Kofi Annan is reportedly preparing to criticize the Bush administration’s human rights record during a farewell speech today in Missouri. According to USA Today, Annan will accuse the administration of trying to secure the United States from terrorism in part by dominating other nations through force, committing human rights abuses and taking military action without broad international support. According to one U.N. historian, Annan’s remarks will be the harshest criticism of the United States ever dealt by an outgoing U.N. secretary-general.
