...Green Zone by the Washington Post's former Baghdad bureau chief Rajiv Chandrasekaran. The details were confirmed for TIME by an official who was involved, who added a telling coda: Bremer actually liked the new arrangement because he "got to deal with Condi, who had the President's ear." Since moving out of the West Wing to take over State in early 2005, Rice has returned there often and has remained close to the President and First Lady.
