#1 We should provide 'lodging' for our athletes on a carrier from 6th Fleet. Or better yet a cruise ship NEXT to a carrier. Don't leave them overnight in Athens.

#2 Athens is acting like a Thanksgiving turkey the night before - flapping around all over the place without a head, and looking totally moronic. Security should have been tightened three years ago, and constantly been worked on as problems came up. If A-Q really wanted to do something there, they probably started sending in people last year, if not earlier. How long were the 19 'aviators' in the US before 9/11? How long were the people in Kenya and Tanzania before the Embassy bombings? Glad to know they've finally awoke from their self-imposed dreamworld, but they've got a LOT of work to make up before they can claim any real 'security'. Good luck, guys, you're really, REALLY gonna need it.
