A leftist Greek guerrilla who walked away from a prison while on furlough this month announced his return to terrorism on Monday. ...Mr. Xiros, 55, was serving multiple life terms at the Korydallos Prison near Athens for a series of attacks carried out by the group, chiefly against Greek, British and American business and political targets over nearly three decades. He has been at large since failing to return from a nine-day furlough that began on Jan. 1.-/www.nytimes.com/2014/01/21/world/europe/greece-prison-escapee-vows-to-fight-again.html
Can you imagine someone in an America jail going on a nine-day furlough after being sentenced to multiple life terms? Oh those wacky Greeks! What a bunch of kidders.
His online manifesto (“Once again I have taken the decision to thunder the guerrilla rifle against those who stole our lives and sold our dreams for a profit”) is not likely to encourage the investment that Greece seems to need. It's OK to ignore me: I'm not an economist.
