Blagojevich  arranged the visit to FRY of  Rev. Jesse Jackson and other
religious leaders. They visited the US. POWs but it seems they will not be
able to secure their release. Their arrival was celebrated by the most severe
bombing of Belgrade so far. They are meeting also with leaders of  religious
groups in the FRY. Apparently the Serbian patriarch supports the release of
all the POWs unconditionally. Can Milosevic fire him?
   Cheers, Ken Hanly
