MR. HADLEY: There was, as I mentioned, a general discussion of the importance of recognition of Iraqi sovereignty. It was — Blackwater was something that, after the formal meeting, the Secretary of State and the Prime Minister talked about. As you know, there is — the United States and Iraq are working together to look at this incident and related incidents, and to talk about how to ensure that the sovereignty — one, that there’s better cooperation and coordination in these kinds of operations; two, that Iraqi sovereignty, of course, is reflected; and three, that also there is a way in which — that the security can continue to be provided to our State Department personnel. As you know, in addition, the Secretary of State has authorized her own internal review of the relationship and the rules of operation under which these contractors operate, and that is, of course, separate from what we are doing together, jointly, with the Iraqis. Q But can you say if it did actually come up bet
