Man without security clearance present at Bush meeting

A man who was denied security clearance by the Czech National Security Agency attended a meeting between George Bush and opposition leader Jiri Paroubek, Lidove Noviny reports. Mr Paroubek's adviser Ivan Busniak attended the meeting last Tuesday even though he is not cleared to have access to confidential information that might endanger the state. It is unlikely that President Bush, who met with Mr Paroubek to discuss building a proposed radar base in the Czech Republic, knew about Mr Busniak's security status. Mr Paroubek, for his part, said he was "completely indifferent" to what sort of vetting his advisor had hen asked by reporters about the matter.
