Albert Bachmann, Switzerland’s least effective but most colorful spymaster, whose dread of a Soviet invasion led him to create a secret intelligence service and guerrilla force unknown to the Swiss government in the 1970s, died on April 12 in Cork, Ireland. He was 81.

That was an interesting story. I noticed your image is missing. I have a number of those in my older blog posts and it had to do with Picassa "sync" issues. I stopped using Picassa because of it.
