Have just talked to Ciro; he is safely in Boston and being fed and margaritaed by my parents. His theory is that this whole bit was a revenge for some UK passengers being stopped at JFK airport a few weeks back, as they kept trying to lecture him about racism in the US. It's also pretty clear that the immigration officer lied to at least one of us, and probably both of us, a couple of times - said opposite things.

Ciro has of course had an awful and exhausting day, which he has weathered admirably; that story is really his to tell, but know at least that he's not, for instance, rending clothes, weeping uncontrollably, prostrating himself on the floor, etc. No raging; just that kind of quiet, tired, oddly cheerful "oh, the universe." I doubt any plan will be worked out for a few days; we'll need time to think, and probe, and form opinions.

We're both fine.

Wow, it seems that the english government was nicer to him than the richardson cops were... how sad... Anyways, Please tell him that Ed and I are so happy to hear that he is in one piece. I hope this all gets solved for you soon:) We miss you both!

I have a strong desire to bite the English, chew them up, spit them out, and then clean my mouth out vigorously.

I think you understand.

Also, I would stomp on them.
