[Washington Post] Raymond McCaffrey and Robin Wright - Annapolis will host a Middle East peace meeting late in November at the U.S. Naval Academy. U.S. officials said the Bush administration selected the academy in part because it provides a secure facility convenient to Washington. Also, they said, unlike the presidential retreat at Camp David and the Wye Plantation on Maryland's Eastern Shore, the academy is not associated with unsuccessful peace efforts during the Clinton administration. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will host the meeting of Arab and Israeli leaders to discuss terms for a Palestinian state and peace with Israel. President Bush is widely expected to address the meeting.
