Nice one, Joe.

Yeah, I'll send you the info in an email.

I found this to be amusing, but I do think that perhaps they are right to get him out of there. Just his being there might cause others to become targets... you know?

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, they were right to withdraw him. I'm just not sure he should have been out there in the first place.

From what I have read it appears that he was doing a pretty good job of doing whatever they do.

I know... war is just wrong.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, you've said it.

I see this whole stunt as propaganda for the war, the military and the royal family- none of which are among my favourite things
