Tom, meanwhile, probably the greatest chess player in history remains in jail in Japan, on US orders, as they try to extradite him and jail him for committing free trade. He played at a tourament in Yugoslavia when the US was in its hate-the-Serbs mode. Heroic Iceland has offered him refuge, but Police State USA maintains its grip, though he tried to give up his citizenship. Semi-cheers for Japan for at least not shipping him off to Abu Graib or wherever the feds want to put him (also for various thought crimes, of course).
