A piece in today's NYT says no one has any idea where he is, which seems an entirely sensible thing. Do British journalists and British intelligence know something that their U.S. counterparts don't?

30533 conjectures -- rank: 1000

Financial Times - September 22, 2001 [...] What will happen to anti-globalisation protests? For now, anti-globalisation activism is silenced. The mass demonstrations in Washington next weekend to coincide with the annual meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund were cancelled even before the meetings were called off. After the destruction of the icons of Wall Street, being anti-capitalist looks dangerously like being anti-American. But critics of corporations and corporate-led ...

Alexandre Fenelon wrote: >-But the majority of US working class usually supports US imperialism. >-Am I wrong? It's not that simple. Decades of polls have shown that the U.S. public, like George Washington, resists "foreign entanglements." It doesn't share the elite's passion for empire.
