yesterday Bono (BAH'-noh) added the Pentagon.
The U2 lead singer dropped in on Defense Secretary Robert Gates,
spending about 20 minutes inside the military chief's office.
Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell (moh-REHL') says the two
discussed all things Africa, from the military's new Africa Command
to the president's AIDS initiative. Press Secretary Geoff Morrell
(moh'-REHL) says the talk centered around how to get more civilians
involved in solving the continent's problems.
Morrell says he doesn't know why the hush-hush meeting was set
and doesn't expect there to be others, but says Gates was "happy
to meet" with Bono.
