I just saw this sad news:

Darcy and her family and pets are OK; they were home when it started.
Last summer the Puget Sound populace was shaken by a bow wave of fear. Two 'Middle Eastern'-looking men took a few ferry rides on our state ferries. They appeared curious about the workings of the ferries and took photographs on board. Locals noticed their foreign appearance and their frightening actions and alerted Homeland Security. A massive search mission failed to identify or apprehend the two, even with huge front-page headshots in the papers and some quality time on CNN. Much anguished discussion resulted both here on DK and in Northwest newspapers and news forums. Had we been violated by terrorists? When were they coming back? What were they planning?
Three limousines bearing Canadian and Australian flags were waved through police checkpoints in the Sydney central business district and drove into the APEC restricted area to within a block of President Bush's hotel earlier this week. The motorcade stopped and a man dressed as Osama Bin Laden got out of one of the vehicles. Only then did the police realize something was amiss and arrested 11 people.

This is not significant diary material but might help get Joe CNN to be better informed about Downing Street Memo II.
