Regarding the Dec. 27 Kyodo article "Futenma impact report to be mailed to Okinawa": This is exactly what one of my students and I were talking about the other day. He remarked that he would bet that the central government would not hand-deliver its findings to the Okinawa Prefectural Government. I countered that surely, in this extreme case, it had to hand-deliver the report.

He was right! Talk about no guts. Sickening! More than ever, I hope the Okinawa folks stick to their guns, and rights!
