Palin Reconsiders, Lets Press Tag Along at UN Meetings

Sarah Palin gave in to protests from reporters today and allowed them to observe meetings with world leaders at the United Nations, the AP reports; her staff had earlier said only photographers and a TV crew would be invited to sessions with Afghanistan's Hamid Karzai and Columbia's Alvaro Uribe. A campaign spokeswoman, after earlier saying the restrictions were not open to debate, called the incident “miscommunication.” (More McCain-Palin stories.)
