Dumb question perhaps, but why doesn't Mellar speed the process along by either covertly putting out word on the Jhereg street that he's at CB or by having a hit done on himself (and arrange to have it be permanent but not Morganti)? Even if the work got traced back to him eventually, the war would be well underway. Basically he's standing around daring the best minds in the Jhereg and Dragon to outthink him - why wait?
