Camp David, June 9: Danish Prime Minister Andres Fogh Rasmussen on Friday became the first foreign leader to publicly confront George Bush over allegations of civilian killings in the Iraqi town of Haditha.

"When unacceptable events happen in Abu Ghraib, and when allegations are made about horrific events in Haditha, it is not only a tragedy for the victims. It is damaging to our own efforts and an offence to our own very values," Mr Rasmussen said at a press conference with Mr Bush.

...Mr Bush told the press conference: "The Prime Minister and I share values. And he spent time making sure that I understood his strong belief that when we fight the war on terror and we help democracies that we've got to uphold the values that we believe."
