At 9:30 in the morning, Paul Whelan called me from Russia. He was allowed to make a phone call and I had to spend 30 minutes on the phone telling him what happened and why we were unable to get him out at that time, Carstens told NBC News Tom Llamas at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. And I said, Paul, the Russians gave us one deal. It was Brittney, or no one. There was no opportunity to get you out. And we re not going to stop. My foot is on the gas pedal.

We can do that for everyone else and even other world leaders ndash; but not the American president and his predecessors. It s meant as a sign of respect. For example, here s part of a radio report I filed this morning:It s a media blitz for the stimulus plan by Pres.
