Where's Waldo? (Peru Edition): Update


Remember the Keystone Kops? The Peruvian government's ongoing search for Romulo Leon is much better. Developments:

The head of the criminal investigations dep't today says Romulo Leon will be captured "at any moment" and his men are conducting an "intense job of intelligence". It's taken them a month to work out he's missing, so the 'don't your your breath' rule is in operation here.

The gov't has opened up a cellular phoneline so that people can phone in with information on the whereabouts of Romulo Leon. I really feel like phoning and saying "HE'S BEHIND THAT TREE!!! LOOK!! NOOOO, NOT THAT TREE...THE OTHER ONE!!" but I bet they've already had a thousand calls like that so there's not much point.

A special multiparty parliamentary commission has been set up to investigate the PetroPeru corruption. Yesterday they noted that there seems to be more cases of corruption than have so far come to light. NO SHIT SHERLOCK.

Whatevs; this comedy of errors has a long run ahead of it. Watch this space, soap opera fans
