#2 ...filled with gun-toting mercenaries...

As opposed to what? Fluffy-pillow-toting mercenaries?

Journalism School For Dummies. Wait, that's redundant.

#3 Sounds like a Brit problem to me. Sir Mark can go there, not to the U.S.

#6 Oi.

Seriously, I'm suprised his wife went to SA to see him, and took the kids too. I would have figured they already had enough hostages.

Do y'all think he really did it, or is he just a high-profile suspect-du-jour to get the masses excited?

#8 Odds on, he got duped by Mann. He should have known better, but when told he would be getting big returns for a relatively small investment he probably decided that it was worth it to not notice any irregularities. The fleetness of mouth by the mercs in captivity says that Thatcher probably was set up as a fall guy from day 1.

If Teodoro had really wanted to make a 'splas' he should have had somebody at the airport with an anti-aircraft missile and made mercenary bits all over the runway.

#9 What Ronnie Reagan is to President Reagan Mark Thatcher is to the Iron Lady.

Blame it on delusion of genes.
