WASHINGTON - Caught off guard walking to her office, some guy stopped to talk to Secretary Clinton today.
"Can somebody, please, tell me who this guy is and why he's stopping to talk to me here, in the Secretary of State building?" Secretary Clinton asked staffers, who uniformly shrugged. Security forces were already on the scene and had taken the guy into custody before anyone realized he was, in fact, Foreign Minister Kyprianou of Cyprus who had arrived early for a scheduled meeting with Secretary Clinton.
After a vigorous round of formal apologizing, Secretary of State Clinton welcomed the Foreign Minister to Washington, and asked him how he enjoyed his flight. The Minister responded, "It was okay," but added that the kid behind him kicking his seat drove him "absolutely crazy" for hours on the overseas flight.
