They say it might snow this morning.
There are two news stories that caught my attention this morning.
The first confronted me as I opened the browser: A US consulate in Saudi Arabia (Jidda) was raided and 18 local employees were taken hostage. In addition, several local staff (and the attackers) were killed. The US staff is all accounted for. My first thought was: 'Wonderful. The downhill spiral spreads, after the most violent week in Iraq since the invasion'. My second thought was: 'What does this really signify?"
The second story came from the radio: Jeremy Hinzman, an AWOL US soldier seeking refugee status in Canada, and others like him, have their immigration hearing today. It will be interesting to read about the argument and the decision tomorrow -- though of course it is not clear the decision will be made today.
