Abstract
- This is an article that focuses on the security plan of Greece to be put into place for the 2004 Summer Olympics. I was standing outside the unfinished Olympic Stadium in Athens, talking with two Australian tourists, when three cop cars pulled up and blocked the road. An hour later, at another entrance to the venue, I was alone and had just taken a picture of the stadium when the same cop showed up. They've created the Olympic Advisory Group, a task force that includes counterterrorism experts from Australia, Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Spain, and the United States. The road between Athens and Marathon--on which competitors will, yes, run the marathon--is still being paved. Louis Lahaie, the liaison officer for the Canadian Olympic Committee and Sports Canada in Athens.
