A letter from the US embassy in the Philippines, dated 11 December 2003,
states that Bobby Fischer's US passport was issued at the US embassy in
Switzerland on 24 January 1997. That's more than 4 years after the US
authorities issued an arrest warrant on 15 December 1992. Curious that
in 1997 they apparently weren't interested in enforcing it, huh?

These people are not the brightest, nor the swiftest. Often there is
cause to be grateful that this is true. - Things are changing fast
though, now that you have "Homeland Security".
