#3 He is described as a keen traveller and adventurer.

You know, I think I'll quit my job and become an "adventurer". What's the payscale for adventurers?

#4 The Danes don't seem to know much about him either. But I suppose Danish diplomats lead a rather quiet life. It's been a while since Vikings went plundering on Muslim shores...

#5 dont know anything about him - glad to have a Dane aboard though.

Would also like to follow up to my panicy post yesterday about Bremer, new head honcho for Iraq. Although an Ex-Dept of State guy, and formerly of Kissinger Associates, today's WaPo says he is close to civilian leadership of DoD. Seems like this pick was an attempt at compromise - someone more acceptable to State, CIA, and the Europeans but still able to communicate with and work with DoD. So its not as bad as I thought, but still bears close watching.
