To give a possible answer to the original second question:<BR>The Nazgul saw Frodo with the ring in Osgiliath (thanks to our really cool movie-faramir (I guess sarcasm is dropping out of your computer right now)) <BR>so it is not too speculative to say that Sauron thought that Frodo/Pippin, I guess the Nazgul couldn't tell, was brought to Minas Tirith. That's what Sauron would have done or is expecting Faramir to do: To bring the ring to his father (or Aragorn, who is on his way to Gondor as he has seen in the Palantir) so that one of them can use it against Sauron. He would never think that the Hobbits would go to Mordor itself. <BR>So actually, PJ did a rather good attempt to explain why Sauron did not think that his ring went to Mordor. Or was that a co-incidence?
