Rumsfeld (right) talks with NATO Secretary General Lord George Robertson (left) while waiting for the other NATO defense ministers to assemble for a group photo at the annual informal meeting of NATO Defense Ministers, in Warsaw, Poland, on Sept. 24, 2002. Each Autumn the defense ministers gather at a select location within the borders of one of the member-nations, instead of their usual venue at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, for the informal non-binding meetings. This year Poland became the first nation of NATO's former adversary--the Warsaw Pact--to host such an event.
