The Guardian newspaper reported this morning that the British equivalent of Al Gore, young Mr. Phil Sands, was kidnapped in Iraq on Boxing Day and rescued about a week later by surprised US troops who were searching the building he was held in pursuit of bad guys. Mr.Gore, who has – fortunately -been missing for months is reliably reported to have been sighted somewhere in the DC area, in which he is expected to give a speech tomorrow. In response to which we can reasonably be expected to reiterate the question, as Mr. Sands related to the Guardian, asked by the US trooper who discovered him.
