On another thread, the question was asked: What is Denethor doing in Osgiliath. <P>Now, I know he wasn't there and Faramir and co were just passing through in their way to Minas Tirith. But, when you think about it, it's a perfectly reasonable question. Why go to Osgiliath if Denethor wasn't there? It wasn't on a direct route from Henneth Anun to Minas Tirith, and neither was it exactly the safest place to escort the Ringbearer through. Is this another one of those re-writes that doesn't hold up under scrutiny, or is there a perfectly logical explanation?
