Palin meets with world leaders

The Alaska governor initially said that no reporters would be allowed to sit in on her meeting with Karzai. She planned to allow in only photographers and one television crew.

Photos are allowed, reporters are not.  In other words, Palin wants to be seen to be competent enough to meet with world leaders, but doesn't trust her competence enough to have people hear what she is going to say.
