jhetleyHey, the morning paper says that the PTBs bounced Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) from his flight because of "association with potential terrorists." Shrub associates with Ariel Sharon and Vladimir Putin and wossname, the interim Iraqi premier, all potential or known terrorists. Does this mean we can get him put on the "no-fly list"?
"Potential terrorists" my hairy ass.
To morph a question from previous election campaigns, "Are you safer now than you were four years ago?"
In other news of equal importance, the grass continues green well into the time when it should be turning brown. I shouldn't need to mow this often.

Cat Stevens: it's a bit more complex than you might think

I'm not saying sending him back was the right thing but he's not just the writer of "Peace Train" either.
