Kidnap Part 2 - read the other entry first

This episode will now be rewritten as 'The day we thought I had recieved a kidnap threat but actually hadn't at all it was a matter of Chinese whispers among the intelliengence and security people who are meant to be providing us with accurate information' - too long a title you think?

Needless to say I was feeling unsure of the information I was being given, different people told me different things and it just didn't sit right, some people were giving me the impression that they thought we were over reacting and others thought that if the intelligence had been correct then we were under reacting. I kept asking for clarification and became a bit embarrassed as I felt I would be seen as an idiot who doesn't really understand English but...Thank goodness I did keep asking. One final time to clarify with someone who heard the information first hand as my feeling of unease increased...and then it came out. I had been told by the security people a very different spin on the information than the way it had come from the original source.

Irritatation, anger, vexation, frustration, relief, weariness are all things that I then felt as I moved the security people to clear up their mess and clarify their information with eachother and then call everyone concerned before they took unneccessary evasive and extreme action.
