CNN: Iceland to vote on Fischer offer
This has nothing to do with anything, but can we stop calling Bobby Fischer "Bobby" now? It was fine when he was a 15 year-old grandmaster, but now he's a cranky 62 year-old. How about calling him Robert? Or just Rob?
Okay, I'm done.

This is the classic tale of how the U.S. government goes after chump change rather than the real dangerous stuff. (Like hearings over steroids in basball rather than investigating prisoner abuse in Iraq and Gitmo) Fine Fishcer and let him come home. But revoking his passport and trying to equate a chess game in Yugo with treason is stupid.
And one other suggestion: Why not call him the "Big Fish"?
It's also a classic example of a republic forgetting that it cannot suffer lese majeste. Yes, Fisher thumbed his nose at the US government. It was ages ago and harmless.
