That's why I did it! I wanted to let the readers fill in their own angry politician cracks for Red to respond to. And I didn't want to get into any libel suits.....

It's now 5th.... And yes, the word Kaitempi is the term for the Sirian Secret Police from the book
Wasp by Eric Frank Russell. A really, really recommended read.... Think of it as Red as James Bond. (EFR worked with Ian Fleming during WWII in the British "dirty tricks" department, Fleming in the Europe branch and Russell in the Japan branch.)
I always make a concordance for each story, it's part of writing the story for me. That way you can see all the fun (or at least most of it) that I'm having writing the story.
There will be no work on Red until Saturday at the earliest. I have an interview Friday at lunch, must study for the tech interview. As a fellow It'er, you understand the needs.....
