| Turkey yesterday deported a former U.S. Marine from California who is campaigning against war on Iraq and who tried to enter the country using documents describing him as a "citizen of the world," the environmental group Greenpeace said. Officials at Istanbul airport refused entry to Ken Nichols, who was a U.S. Marine in the 1991 Persian Gulf war and has helped organize Western volunteers to act as human shields at key sites and in populous areas in Iraq. "Get the hell out and stay out!" (Where do they get these people?) |

| #4 Just throw the guy into the Dardanelles; once he floats out into the Mediterranean he'll be back in "the world". |

| #3 Where'd they deport him to? He's supposedly given up his US citizenship. |

| #2 His bright red double-decker buses and supporters were also there in Turkey tho' - I'd assumed they might not make it to Iraq in time to be human shields as they desire. Possibly the attack has been scheduled late in February, not in deference to the UN, or in deference to the hajj, but to allow time for these |
