Where in the world is John Lesch?

John Lesch has left Iraq, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. We confirm that and we feel downright certain in reporting that , in fact, the Pioneer Press is reporting that John Lesch has left Iraq.
But where the St. Paul state rep is is anyone's guess and why he isn't talking is, well, our guess.
MPR reporter Marisa Helms got him on his cellphone earlier today and was told he wasn't ready to talk. And in the last few hours, the MPR All Things Considered producers have been chasing Lesch down. And they found him, but we don't know where.
But we do know this: he's 9 hours from here. We know that because they asked him what time it was there...wherever "there" was...or is. Beyond that, Lesch says he's not "ready to talk" about his sudden trip to Iraq. He did update his blog today.
So let's figure this out. We've narrowed Lesch's whereabouts to these locations:
Bahrain
Comoros
Djibouti
Eritrea
Ethiopia
Iraq
Kenya
Kuwait
Madagascar
Mayotte
Qatar
Russia
Astrakhan* (NAO)
Saratov* (NAO)
Ulyanovsk* (NAO)
Volgograd* (NAO)
Saudi Arabia
Somalia
Sudan
Tanzania
Uganda
Yemen
Bemidji
It's only a matter of time before we find him. We've turned the phone tapes over to CTU for analysis.
