#1 In France, Germany and Britain, [Rice] will meet in closed session with leading academics and intellectuals.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at those sessions!

#3 So? There are three sessions, after all, and I only posted the comment twice ;-)

#5 Will the fly be commenting on what he overhears?

#6 I'd love to see it, too, tw. Condi seems very articulate and intelligent and has a backbone. I hope she sets their a**es straight. That's probably just wishful thinking, though. It would be great to have flesh and blood partners with both intelligence and conscience, but instead we have holographs.

#7 TGA, I am your adoring fan! Please ask your fly to share, if it would, general impressions. I assume that anything more detailed would be breaking confidences, although I am greedy enough to wish for it.

Immer Deine,

#8 Gratitude in advance for any general impressions TGA's fly might glean and pass along.

I am one American who would like to see the transAtlantic alliance continue in whatever form and to whatever sustainable degree it can.

#9 The fly has met her already, in 1990, discussing Soviet issues.

The fly can't say no more... well, maybe a little :-)

#11 All I can say is that RB will be mentioned...

#12 W00t, pass us around like a party girl, lol! RB is unique in many ways, heh, not least of which is the ease of feedback and the breadth of news covered. And we have big tits, too!

Seriously, it would be great if you had like-minded colleagues you could engage here - and we could be the fly on the wall.

I recognize the severe limitations, but whatever you'd feel comfortable sharing would be far more valuable to understanding issues and positions than what we get from the news outlets, of course. You're a rock. I know you'll be circumspect.

Thanks, bro.

#13 I'll do my best but I guess I leave out the big tits feature :-)

#14 Good idea; it'll make us seem more serious...

#15 Whatever you do, don't mention AR-15. He's too serious.

#18 People with ink-stained fingers showing the Prez as he comes down the isle. Love it.
