In pride of place was a display of pictures and letters detailing how the Indians extracted the body of a Chinese climber from the crater of the nearby Nyiragongo volcano.

He then referred obliquely to mistakes in some of his own "rhetoric"; Bush has said that his vow to catch Osama bin Laden "dead or alive" and his challenge to America's adversaries to "bring 'em on," among other cavalier comments, were unhelpful, and that is presumably what he was hinting...
