Pentagon leadership, protester enjoy cordial chat
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An anti-war protester and the Secretary of Defense don't appear to be a couple likely to get along -- especially when the latter is advocating a troop escalation.
But during a break in the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Friday, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Peter Pace engaged in what seemed to be a pleasant conversation with a woman wearing a bright pink shirt with the words "No War." Cameras swarmed as the woman approached the two men and shook their hands. The woman appeared to be from the group, "Code Pink," an all-women anti-war group whose members make frequent appearances at Senate committee hearings on Iraq. -- CNN's Alexander Mooney and Steve Brusk
