Latest from Debka: "Bush and Blair to hold unscheduled summit in Northern Ireland Iraqi information minister Mohammed al-Saeef threatened “non-conventional” action against US troops at Baghdad airport Friday night. Asked if he meant WMD, he said no. There will be martyrdom operations from which no one will survive. Shortly after "non-conventional"threat was broadcast, Saddam Hussein appeared in taped speech, calling on people of Baghdad to “do what they can” against invader and promised victory. Thousands continue to flee Baghdad Tape analysis by intelligence experts indicate speech pre-recorded March 24, about time DEBKAfile reported flight of Iraqi leadership to Latakiya, Syria, showing him alive and unhurt. “Martyrdom” is way Iraqis refer to suicide terrorism."

Hello John, I had just sent the following e-mail to a friend: "I would say (a) Hong Kong is very relaxing these days, as most business trips are cancelled, and (b) many majority of retail/restaurant places are empty. We are taking all the precautions (masks, washing hands constantly, exercise, eat right, drinking lots of water), but I feel the whole thing has been blown out of proportion by the media. They have attached a scarry sounding name to a variety of flu, and managed to scare all into a state of existence that is fitting of the time of the great plague. The SARS event/process will of course further pulverize the HK economy and financial market in a 'shock and awe' manner, and I think it will help to set the markets lower, allowing the previously built-up excesses to clear faster. Many businesses that rents real estate and many landlords will go under unless events clear up fast." Chugs, Jay
