Noted in the news -

There is speculation about the appointment of the next Ambassador to Washington USA representing the Fiji people. The speculation centres on one Sitiveni Rabuka (pronounced with "m" before the "b") who, for those who might not know, was charged and convicted of treason for his part in organising the coup d'etat against the legally elected Choudry Labour government. The required death penalty was removed by the Transitional Government that replaced Rabuka's illegal administration.

Quite apart from his political leanings (he should do well in DC as a good right wing buddy of GWB) his qualifications for the position are quite unique. ( I am jumping to the conclusion here that the rumours become fact)

He is (apparently) a member of "an international prayer group" that meets in Washington annually. For that reason I hesitate to say "He hasn't a prayer".
