Bush's security
For weeks prior to the Nato summit, the Czech media
were full of reports about the security precautions to be
taken. George W. Bush never stays in the same place
twice, the reports said, and he moved a planned
speech at Radio Free Europe because the location got
out. But then Bush spent three straight nights at the
same location, the U.S. residence in Prague 6.
Because of press reports and the traffic restrictions in
effect whenever Bush was at the residence, it was
obvious where he was staying. He was with his relative
and friend, Ambassador Craig Stapleton. Did Bush -
referred to constantly by the Czech press as the "most
powerful man in the world" - relax his security so that he
could be with his friend? What about the constant threat
of a terrorist attack? Whatever Bush's reason, it was
nice to see that he considers Prague to be so safe.
