>Thanks Jo for including the link to the story ...
It looks like I was adding my post at the same time that you were adding yours, I hadn't seen your mention of the bomb as I logged out shortly afterwards. I suspect that, like the reporting of the London bomb, almost anything other than the barest facts are open to spin, depending on the current interpretation of the politics, the background investigation, diplomacy issues and the desire not to give too much away. As they say, the view we get of history is usually the view from the "winning" side, so it will all be interpreted and re-interpreted many more times. I don't know enough to get too bogged down in discussion here so add me to your e-mail list and I can find out more.
My main point was that it is hard to escape the world that exists outside our front door and it is good to have friends here who are not necessarily part of that world.
I wish you well.
Jo
