Dalai Lama "is not a call girl"

Tibet's exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama (L) places a scarf on Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the start of their meeting in Harper's office on Parliament Hill in Ottawa October 29, 2007. When Harper tried to explain in a year-end interview why he'd met the Dalai Lama in his Ottawa office, it was clear he wanted to show respect for the exiled Tibetan leader. Unfortunately, it didn't quite come out that way. REUTERS/Chris Wattie
