"...WASHINGTON (AP) - Germany's defense minister suffered cuts on his forehead and foot Tuesday when the car he was in was hit by a deploying security barrier as his entourage entered the Pentagon grounds...."

"...Bacon said the security barrier had been placed in ``parade mode,'' meaning it was electronically locked into position so that it would not pop up while the German delegation drove through the guard area. He said it was not immediately clear why the barrier popped up anyway, but Cohen ordered a thorough investigation. [to uncover the source of press reports of the incident]

``This was a serious, possibly tragic situation,'' Bacon said, expressing Cohen's demand that such accidents not be repeated...." [reported?]

In other news, Secretary Cohen has demanded that the nation's anti-missile defenses cease and desist from amusing themselves by shooting down commercial airliners, especially those containing DNC donors whose checks haven't yet cleared.
