[edit] "Eric the Red"

The article contained this sentence: It is reported that he was unpopular with the George W. Bush administration and was known as Eric the Red in the US State Department. I first cited this sentence with the verify source tag, but now noticing the above requirements for the living persons biographies, I have removed it altogether. If someone can verify this, please return the information with the appropriate citation. Wempain 23:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
