In addition to the photographs there is also a link to an article regarding the incident in the Sudan with the NBC reporter and US Officials when they were excluded from a meeting

GretchenM pinged me a link to this article about how reporters and US Officials were treated today in the Sudan

Dr Rice herself expressed anger at what happened.

Part of the article as follows:-

Security forces in the Sudanese capital manhandled U.S. officials and reporters traveling with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, marring her round of meetings with leaders of the new unified government. Rice demanded an apology, and got it.

"It makes me very angry to be sitting there with their president and have this happen," she said. "They have no right to push and shove." Rest of the article can be found at Sudan Security Roughs Up Rice Delegation
