It might be forever known as the Olympic torch relay that wasn't.
At least that was the case for thousands of spectators and protesters who lost out in San Francisco's hide-and-seek game played all Wednesday afternoon with one of the world's most recognized icons.

In football terms, it was a bootleg, a grand misdirection. The Olympic torch hid more than it inspired Wednesday in San Francisco. It disappeared into a warehouse, feinted toward the Golden Gate Bridge and ended on a bus to the airport like a candidate for witness protection.
Count it a political victory for San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, a tactical triumph for the San Francisco police. a saving of face for the Chinese govement.
haha...
