Joe Biden was waiting on a desolate, darkened Afghan tarmac in 2002 when bad news arrived from Washington: He and his entourage were being blocked by the Pentagon from taking a spare seat on a departing military cargo plane.
Standing in the cold, the hulking planes rumbling in the background, Biden knew who to call.
"Mr. Secretary," he told Colin Powell over a satellite phone, "they said you kicked me off this plane."
