#1 I'd read that Taylor was asking for armed UN troops to monitor the ceasefire. Was wondering how the international arrest warrant would be honored by the blue helmets? Read him his rights via bullhorn from behind a concertina-surrounded compound?

#2 Except for any of the victims killed by edged weapons I wonder if the ones killed by gunfire are victims of 7.62 x 39mm rounds. And where are the rebels getting their AK-47s and the amunition?

#3 Taylor has accused neighbouring countries like Guinea of supporting the rebels, and they have accused Taylor of sponsoring rebel groups in their country.
Although I don't think it is to hard to find AK's in that part of the world, there are probably almost as many as there are people (now).
