So by the time we finally did get in, there were Sudanese officials saying, "Don't ask any questions," and American officials saying, "No agreements. No deals." And we went in, and I asked President el-Bashir why, in essence, anyone should believe his promises when his government has said repeatedly that it will stop the violence and then it continues to support the militias that are doing the killing. At which point two guys came up behind me, two of his armed security guards, and grabbed me from behind and started pulling me out the door. I tried to keep my balance so that I didn't go down. And they shoved me out the door. Rice was furious and came back as soon as we got to the airport to leave for the refugee camp.

The left is totally clueless about evil dictators....
Actually there wwere two Arabs outside who had offered 10 goats for Andrea, but when they saw her without her TV makeup, they backed out.
I hate to see any American mistreated in a foreign country, but I'll make the exception for Andrea.
Remember, these are people who don't really think there is evil in the world. In fact, they chide the prez for being so....well....dualistic and simplistic to call some things evil.
Its Bush's fault is what she will say.
"Rice was furious and came back as soon as we got to the airport to leave for the refugee camp."
Boy, "furious" was sure the right thing to do in
this instance. I imagine dictators are just down
right hornswaggled by "furious."
I don't understand what you mean. They are as clueless about Castro as they are about any other despot.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Rice was furious and came back as soon as we got to the airport to leave for the refugee camp.
Um, Andrea, it's DR. RICE, not just "Rice". Maybe you need to work on your manners too.
The American Press are the ones who want to the the shoving and pushing, not the other way around.
Hee hee. Love to see them "escort" Terry Moran out the door.
Wilikers! You mean they don't know who Andrea Mitchell is? Gosh!
In a perfect world, this would have happened to David Gregory. Of course, in a perfect world there are no David Gregorys.
Some day the American Left will find out that we're not the most repressive country in the world. It wouldn't bother me if Andrea Mitchell got to write the first stories.
She's either dumb, or just fact-challenged.
Welcome to the world of "NO SH!T B!TCH! Theres no freedom of Christianity either. Where was your outrage for that?
