USA A-OKAY!
Some positive news from our friends, the american goverment:
- those poor prisoners in Guantanamo get better treatment:
from Popbitch:
'>> Guantanemo Girls Gone Wild <<
GI Janes all want to be Jenna Jameson
This American Government may be the most socially
conservative in history, but it's rather
progressive when it comes to torture. A book by
a former American soldier details the sex tricks
played on detainees at Guantanemo Bay, designed
to offend their Islamic faith.
A 21-year-old Saudi was taunted by a woman who
rubbed her breasts against his back and commented
on his erection. When that didn't get him to
confess, another interrogator tried putting
her hands in her pants, lifting them out
covered with (fake) blood and wiping it on his
face. He then "cried like a baby." Another
interrogator liked to keep a thong and
miniskirt hanging on the door of the cell.
Come on Mr Bush - stop pussyfooting around -
just put Paris Hilton in charge of the camp.'
- those lucky americans won't be bothered again by stupid french dj's:
'I am very sorry to have to cancel my forthcoming tour in the United States. I have decided to cancel further to what I consider to be completely unreasonable demands from the US Embassy in France in order to renew my working visa.
In order to obtain this new visa, the rules have once again changed since November 2004 and I would now have to not only fill in an exceedingly probing application form, but also be interviewed by a member of the Embassy staff, and provide proof of ownership of my house, details of my bank account, my mobile phone records, personal information on all my family members and more. I consider these demands to be a complete violation of my privacy and my civil liberties and I refuse to comply.
I am horrified by these new regulations and feel really sad that this is what some call freedom and democracy.
It has now become almost impossible for an artist to come and perform in the United States. And until this new legislation changes I will unfortunately refuse to comply with this nonsense.
Thank you for your understanding.
