As if the white-shirted goons at TSA (Too Stupid for Arby’s) weren’t bad enough, Michael Yon writes of an encounter with a moron from the so-called Department of Homeland Security’s ICE (Idiots Coercing Everybody) which will make your blood boil.
While the U.S. Immigration officer named Knapp rifled through all her belongings, Aew sat quietly. She was afraid of this man, who eventually pushed a keyboard to Aew and coerced her into giving up the password to her e-mail address. Officer Knapp read through Aew’s e-mails that were addressed to me, and mine to her. Aew would tell me later that she sat quietly, but “Inside I was crying.” She had been so excited to finally visit America. America, the only country ever to coerce her at the border. This is against everything I know about winning and losing the subtle wars. This is against everything I love about the United States. We are not supposed to behave like this. Aew would tell me later that she thought she would be arrested if she did not give the password.
Yet another part of the Bush Legacy which we’ll live to regret. If we survive the Obama Legacy, that is.
