He is driving a cab in New York. I don't think he would risk going to Saudi Arabia. There are too many people in high places there who don't like him. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

I guess what I am trying to say is that the definition of "control" in this case is a little too fluid to be argued either way. -- Just \int_0^\infty du it! -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Try giving us something to work with, for a change. Who is this us of which you speak? There is lots of intelligent commentary being passed on this thread, sadly there are a few people (you for example) who really cant understand this and have little option but resorting to insults and hate filled diatribes. I feel sorry for you. What do _you_ want to talk about instead? Do you have a nice colouring book we could talk about?
