Context is still bad. It's not anything like what a westerner would recognize as a mansion. Have you seen pictures of it? It's really a bunker of sorts, more built for security than built for luxury. To be sure, it was luxurious by local standards. He was filthy rich after all.
I guess I'm reacting to the whole "Living in the lap of luxury in Iran" line I got from my cabbie last night.
Funny how after I heard, I was thinking "what would Guav post about this?" I read LJ maybe once a week now and even then, it's a shorter list than my whole friends list. Kids, no time, you know how it goes.
Nice to see you're still alive and kicking!
I agree especially with the last statement. Big ups to the intelligence agencies for working out the details, despite the information-sharing obstacles that still plague the community even in this day and age.
I think some kids are less high-maintainance ... don't mind being left to their own devices, etc. Not Brixton-every waking moment he must be engaged with me or Bea.
