Today at the UN

Kofi Annan going out swinging.
In a farewell speech on U.S. soil today, retiring United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan plans to deliver a tough critique of President Bush's policies. He will accuse the administration of trying to secure the United States from terrorism in part by dominating other nations through force, committing what he termed human rights abuses and taking military action without broad international support.


And, as an extra twist, to a President and White House have spent a week telling us that Bush is right but simply misunderstood like Harry Truman,

The speech, to be delivered at the presidential library of the late Harry Truman in Independence, Mo., contrasts Truman's support for the United Nations with the Bush administration's unilateral actions.


UPDATE: Here's the text of the speech.
