Hi,

I have little time for blogging right now. I just want to say that I think the ideas that have been put forth repeatedly by Richard are really worth considering seriously. I mean the ideas concerning electronic and technological means of controlling the identification process for secrutity forces and individuals. Of course this is not the sole answer to the problem but it would certainly help. Again I stress that the situation in Baghdad is very serious. The Capital is basically under siege, the terrorists are converging on the capital. Complacency about this situation can prove lethal for all concerned. Something must be done urgently.

For now I have no time to say more.

Regards
