For Immediate Release:
Wednesday, March 23, 2005

Snippet from my blog:

'We then met with the Speaker of the Parliament ... a woman, Nino Burjandadze who was very, very good. She's obviously very motivated to move her country toward a democracy that is independent and free from Russian control. I really liked her. My favorite moment in that meeting was when Sen. Reid tried to open his bottle of water and couldn't do it and she interrupted her speaking and said, "Things in Georgia are always more complicated than they look." That certainly has been true of everything we have seen.'
