Okay, now it's time to play "whodunit!" Ignoring completely when this message was posted (since that's too easy and is no fun at all :-}), it's time to determine who it really is!

Notice the use of words such as "behaviour," "rumours," and "organisation" - all British spellings. These leads to two possible conclusions: either our culprit is European, or else he's me. The second one we can rule out, because... well, because I said so. So Sam's abductor - the spy from Katoo - must be a European, or at least have learned Engish in Britain.

Furthermore, I would say that English is not the first language of the abductor. My tipoff here was the phrase "we need people as Sam;" this phrase, while technically, I believe, correct, is terribly archaic, and not one found in common use. Therefore, the possible conclusions are again twofold: our quarry is not a native speaker, or he is... well, me. And, again, I say he's not me.

Yes, there can be only one conclusion reached here (well, okay, two, but I said it's *not* me). Based on the above evidence, I know who kidnapped Sam. A European. Someone whose first language is not English. The game is up, Katoo I, or should I say Issachar!
