U.S Secret Service agent clashes with Chilean police

NTIAGO, Chile (AP) -- President Bush stepped into the middle of a confrontation and pulled his lead Secret Service agent away from Chilean security officials who barred his bodyguards from entering an elegant dinner for 21 world leaders Saturday night.

Several Chilean and American agents got into a pushing and shoving match outside the cultural center where the dinner was held. Bush noticed the fracas after posing for pictures on a red carpet with the summit host, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and his wife and first lady Laura Bush.

Abandoning the other three, Bush walked over to the agents, reached through the dispute and pulled his agent from the scrum.

The president, looking irritated, walked away with the agent. The incident was shown on APEC television.

I think the Secret Service Agent was pissed because the Chilean guard didn't recognize the flashy MIB duds.

Bush probably walked over there to ask the guard if chili is good in the country of Chili...and the guard probably just stood their baffled and let the SS agent through.
