Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan may walk away from Kenya's peace talks after his security detail discovered his hotel room in Nairobi was bugged, according to a report.

Sources at the Serena Hotel, where the talks are taking place, said Annan's security detail became wary of his safety after discovering that his personal conversations were being intercepted, South Africa's Independent Newspapers reported.

Who may have planted the listening device and how long it was there remain unclear, the Independent reported.

Annan is said to be "livid," but it is not yet known whether he will walk away from the already troubled negotiations.

Kofi, you do not have the same protection and immunity as you did when you played your world leader game.

He should be used to it. EVerything he says and does in the UN building will be bugged. Ease of espionage is one of the few thinngs that made it worthwhile for the US to keep the damn thing there. Some of the stried which have emerged from the NSA have been remarkable in their frankness and the lack of fuss.

He is probably pissed that they heard him taking bribes. That would be quite annoying and cause a prompt departure.

Were the bugs in Coffee’s Kenyan hotel room (1) electronic, (2)creepy crawly, or (3) both.

Now that was truly a funny post. Best laugh I had in a week.

You know, Kofi must be workin the oil for food angle again, and didn't want his room bugged, high stepping it with the Odinga Muslim supporters who have their hands inside of Saudi Wahabi pockets.

Without doubt, his anger was due to the fact his attempt to secure a bribe or payoff was thwarted by lack of security.

He has always had a price.....

He he. I always used to mention that whenever I posted about him because he's such a phony. He likes to come across as such an elite upper echelon type. Especially with his effite style.

LOL! That was my first thought too, and it's probably right!

Probably ordered the bugging himself, in hopes of making people think he's important.

Cute, Kofi. G'night again. Hope the caviar and bernaise-drenched filets they served at the "peace" conference make you dream about the thousands of Rwandans and Iraqis whose murders you enabled, pig.

Wait a minute... they’re worried about his safety because others have been listening to what he’s saying?

What the heck has he been saying?
