I was thinking of that LOL!
"In the midst of his incoherent rambling, Rodman hinted at the underlying purpose of his trips. Clearly under a great deal of pressure from Cuomo, he praised the willingness of his teammates to face media abuse, declaring: "One day, one day this door is going to open because of these ten guys." A more urbane Smith chimed in: "You have to understand we are not alone. We are here with about 50 peoplethere are other Americans."
Incongruous as it might seem, Rodman, as one of only a handful of Americans with personal access to the North Korean leader, appears to be functioning as something of an unacknowledged go-between, in order to open channels of communication between Washington and Pyongyang. In an apology issued yesterday for his CNN outburst, Rodman explained he had been drinking and was upset because my dream of basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart. For his part, Smith did not spell out who the other Americans were, or what they were doing." (End)
Now, who else here smells a RAT?? (emanating from D.C. perhaps?) I think there was a slip of the tongue here. Something fascinating could become unraveled as a result.....
