Wow, it's a genocidal nightmare, but in some ways it is just like home!

They should have brought Karen Hughes with them, she'd get her meaty paws on those dupes. It would be like a creating an firebreak of assholes.

Sudanese security manhandled U.S. officials and journalists outside a meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on Thursday, prompting Rice to demand an apology.

"It makes me very angry to be sitting with their president and have this happen," Rice told reporters on her plane before leaving Khartoum for Darfur. Earlier, she told reporters she wanted an apology.

Sudanese guards and officials shoved U.S. journalists away from the Bashir meeting and slammed the wooden doors to his palace in their faces.

Some U.S. officials were also blocked for several minutes before the Sudanese agreed to allow Rice and aides in. The media was later allowed to witness briefly the talks.

Sudanese officials were not immediately available for comment on the scuffle.


For some reason that last line seems so obvious it makes me laugh.

I just hope there were not any secret memos on board.
