There are always so many photos that emerge from summits like these. What I've tried to do today is give you a glimpse behind the curtain.

This photo is so interesting because of the body language. President Bush and his good friend, the Japanese Prime Minister stand next to each other waiting for the photo to be snapped. Putin stands next to GWB while that false U.S. "ally," Chirac of France, bends Putin's ear. Like many Russian leaders before him, Putin, of course, is playing two ends against the middle.

Bush, Chirac, Putin, Blair and Harper -- more interesting body language.

Putin looks a little sheepish (or is it cagey?) in this one.

Just in case anyone thinks Chirac is anything other than a dolt (a treacherous one at that), this photo should erase that illusion quickly.

Great pictures. Interesting, spot-on comments.

They're all wearing some circular pin on their lapels. W has his on, too, only BELOW the flag. If Clinton had too, he would probably have worn the flag pin under the G8 pin.
