John Bolton vs. Kofi Annan

you knew this was coming from the day walrus-face received his bogus recess appointment...
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan defended his high commissioner for human rights on Thursday after U.S. ambassador John Bolton rebuked her for criticizing the U.S. stance on torture, a U.N. spokesman said.

Annan wants to take up the matter with Bolton as soon as possible, the spokesman said, revealing a rare public expression of displeasure with a U.N. ambassador.

High Commissioner Louise Arbour on Wednesday said the U.S.-led war on terror undermined the global ban on torture, a criticism Bolton called "inappropriate and illegitimate".

great... so now we have a pissing contest between the u.n. secretary general and the u.s. ambassador to the united nations... i'm sure you're RIGHT PROUD of him, george... a wwe, trash-talking diplomat on the global stage is just the ticket for improving the u.s. image...
