Presidential style

This may not have been big news in the US, but the Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked in Pakistan.

Some of the English speaking officials are complaining because they were promised "presidential style security" by the Pakistani government.

Rather churlish of them, given the health and safety record of political leaders in Pakistan. Seems like Presidential style was exactly what they got.

This was in the news here, but, of course, not to the same extent as elsewhere. We know nothing of cricket except that it is beyond the American ken. No little kid cricket teams here.

What happened is tragic, but not because they are athletes, but because they are human. VolMom
