What I don't understand is, what the hell was that ship doing in Istanbul!

I don't see what the big deal is. Everyone knows that if you want to build a road in the Sudan, you've got to blow all the sand out of the way with almost a kiloton of explosives.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to grab a few hundred slaves from the south and force them to dig the sand out of the way? After all, you don't have to feed them, because when they die, since their not muslims, no one but a handful of crazy Americans cares about them.

I wonder where the name Baltic Sky came from - but I suppose so are some there are paid for wondering.
