...Tuesday, some in the Administration felt they were being stonewalled. Jiang continued to insist that the fault lay with the U.S. The Chinese President also called for an end to U.S. surveillance flights. At 2 p.m., Bush walked into the Oval Office and immediately asked Rice to get Brigadier General Neal Sealock on the phone. Sealock, the U.S. military attache in Beijing, had finally been allowed in to see the crew, but for just 40 minutes under strict conditions: no recording devices, no individual conversations, the Chinese always present. The crew had been able to convey word that they...
...strolled into the Oval Office, Bush was concentrating on the logistics of getting the crew home. The difficult diplomacy of selling the Chinese on an artfully limited U.S. apology was, thankfully, behind him. He could begin chewing over simpler problems.

...Wednesday, you could hear the nuance sliding back into Washington's official statements. At a meeting that morning in the Oval Office, Bush told his advisers he wanted to find a "way out." Senior staff members brought up whether Bush should go ahead as planned and throw out the first pitch at a baseball game Friday. Would that look too frivolous if the servicemen and -women were still detained? "We're going," said Bush immediately. His advisers agreed.
