Second Siemens suspect absconds
 Former general manager Christos Karavelas surfaces in Munich and is unlikely to be sent back

Greek judicial authorities were left red-faced for the second time in just a few days after it emerged yesterday that a second suspect in the Siemens cash-for-contracts investigation had left Greece and was in Germany, from where he is unlikely to be extradited.

EDITORIAL
Nothing short of an outrage
 The system has worked beautifully once again. After the former managing director of Siemens Hellas, Michalis Christoforakos, fled to Germany in order to avoid testifying in the ongoing cash-for-contracts scandal, now another former Siemens executive, Christos Karavelas, has also taken refuge in Germany. Both know that Germany has a more flexible stance toward the criminal charges they face.

Spies like us
 There is something quaint in our passionate sensitivity to personal privacy, which comes across as a mixture of uncompromising democratic sensibilities and an inexplicable guilt complex. The queasiness over allowing Google's Street View cameras to roam among us fits neatly into this paradigm: We don't want strangers following us about in our daily lives, just as we don't want any satellite images of our homes and property to be made available to government agencies and other prying eyes.
