Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I noho tonu a Bushnell hei Kaituku Kaitiaki Kaitiaki tae noa ki te wa i tohua ai ia e te Perehitini o Clinton hei Kaihauturu ki Kenya i te tau 1996. I te whakapumautanga a te United States Senate, ka noho a Bushnell ki Nairobi. I whakamahia e Bushnell tana tari ki te akiaki i te Perehitini o Kenya a Daniel arap Moi ki te whakatakoto i nga whakahoutanga manapori me te whakakore i te pirau i roto i tana kawanatanga, he raru nui mo te ohanga o Kenya. I āwangawanga hoki a Bushnell i te kaha o te pānga o te whare karere o Amerika ki te whakaeke. Neke atu i te rua tau, i amuamu ia mō ngā āhuatanga haumarutanga ki ōna rangatira i Washington. Ahakoa te tono a Bushnell mo te whare hou, i whakatau te roopu aromatawai o te Tari Kawanatanga ka nui te whakahou. I kitea he tika nga mataku a Bushnell i te 7 o Akuhata 1998 i te wa i whakaekehia ai he poma motokā
i whakaekehia ki te taha o te karere e ngā māngai o Al-Qaeda.
