He is now back safe and sound at the Giuseppe Conlon Catholic Worker House in London. Efforts at rehabilitation have failed dismally.

Many thanx to all those who sent letters of support, vigiled outisde of the prison, kept him in thought and prayer and carry on nonviolent resistance to these wars.
