Geraldine Kennedy's newspaper makes no mention of the Hariri releases but links to France 24 on
a related topic.

Saad Hariri who is one of the heirs of the Hariri whose death did more for Middle East intrigue than either the funeral of Yasser Arafat or the coma of Ariel Sharon has today said he has evidence of a new plot by Syria to assassinate him.

That follows Lebanese attention on the news that he family of slain former Lebanese Communist Party leader Georges Hawi are going to sue Mossad.

Now whilst we all read the material, we might wonder why people bother with assassination anymore. It's such a pointed business. We've brutal gorey carnage, outright masacre, convenient mishaps & so & so forth yet it seems that in one small little country with only enough legal wealth in either real estate or telecommunications to support only two billionaires & their families (or clans as you call them for wealth is a powerful & awesome aid to fecundity & familiar bonding) they're still playing the assassination game. & to be quite frank there's not much in the Lebanese smack, drug, sex or illegal arms trade either. Nope. If you wanted to carve a new billionaire clan niche over there you'd have to get an opening on antiquities. Great little black market which has never been so bouyant. Many people might remember when the bubble burst on the high art scene thanks to corporate purchases of van goghs & fake modigliani. (The directors of those type of offices want to see something in the foyer they recognise). But then came the Iraqi war. Bingo. I find it hard enough to shift one million [approx] spores, but give me an akkadian tablet on a Friday & I've a buyer by Sunday. & it's a terrible temptation I assure ye. For in truth I don't truck with those sort of shipment heads. Nor do your gardaí for that matter, so I might rethink it all & go crooked. Anyway - digressing am I - There is a billionaire (one of the many taxed up named ones who qualify for the non-job title) up the page. As in he's named up the page not just alluded to. I still haven't found the right place to introduce him properly & looking forward to something better than a dead smack dealer type wikipedia biography stub. I was hoping to bring him into the possibly forgotten & overlooked who wants to be a trillionaire? thread. But then my star witness Sarko just generates family breakdown divorce news. Oh it will all work out in the end.
