I assume that the reason they had it outside was to make it more casual -- a meeting in the oval office implies more formality than he wanted to give to the situation. Although I wonder how relaxing it is when the entire Washington Press Corp is snapping pictures from yards away...

As I read this morning, Crowley and Gate had already had a telephone conversation before showing up at the WH. And they plan to meet again. When they both cooled off they both probably were sorry the whole thing took place and played out the way it did. what I question is those who chose this unfortunate incident to create an "opportunity" to discuss race relations -- I thik Crowley and Gates have been exploited. Wouldn't surprise me to know that Jackson and Sharpton were lurking it the background.

Crowley seems to be a really good guy, but I wonder about his colleague who wrote a bunch of emails referring to Gates as a "jungle monkey" and now is protesting that he is not a racist.
