Nato? Isn't that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization? What in the name of sanity has that got to do with Greece or the Olympics?
Sure, security is important and history has shown that the Games are a natural target for terrorists wanting maximum publicity, but this is just ridiculous. If Athens needs help on the security front, there must be better ways of getting it than this, which is bound to alienate the three quarters of the world which considers Nato an instrument of the US and the US their natural oppressor. Bummer.
