On Capitol Hill, 18 black caucus members, plus Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., hopped on a bus and went to the White House. Their main demands to Secretary of State Colin Powell and Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, were that the United States call for a cease-fire in Haiti, create a humanitarian buffer zone in the capital, Port-au-Prince, and work to keep Haiti from slipping again into the clutches of a dictatorship.

The lawmakers asked for Bush, and Bush joined the meeting. They stressed the need for the humanitarian zone, and Bush said he would think about it.

Turns out the CBC had to pressure Bush into meeting w/ them.

Kerry was right- Bush never met with them in Congress- they had to drive to the WH and BEG him to come out.

According to Al Franken today- they were 1st told to go away by Powell & Rice-when the CBC refused to leave until Bush came out , Bush finally agreed to meet w/ them.

Pass this story around folks- Bush is lying again.
