Andrew Sullivan had a British reader write to him how he’s not visiting America during the Bush Administration out of fear of being sent to Gitmo and be belly-slapped. This brings up the obvious question: What does this Brit know that he doesn’t want to tell our government?
I hope Andrew Sullivan follows up to find out.
And aren’t people who would have legitimate fears of being detained and interrogated by our government people we wouldn’t want as tourists in the first place?

UPDATE:
No who we should intern again? The Japanese. I have no reasoning behind it; I’m just suddenly feeling spiteful.
I’d be more worried discussing “belly-slaps” with Andrew Sullivan. It could get uncomfortable.
If Bush’s policies are keeping AQ sympathizers out they are at least partially effective.
We must be doing something right if the nancy limey bum boys don’t want to cross the pond. Not like we need their unfounded sense of self-righteousness anyhow. We have enough leaking from Congress to handle as it is.
Interesting too, that he has no worries that his doctor might try to blow him up.
The majority of the people I work with are more likely to be dragged off to Gitmo for belly-slapping antics than this guy… ie, they have dark skin and funny accents. Yet, they’re VOLUNTARILY going through the legal immigration/greencard process, exposing themselves to potential detainment, without fear.
I think what I’m trying to say is: Brits can be such pansies sometimes.
One of those doctors must’ve accidentally removed his balls.
Innocent people never run.
I once worked with a British intern… I think they call them “industrial placement students.”
Oh, wait, you meant “interr”, eh?
(feeling snarky too… ran out of fun fireworks too early yesterday.)
Ok…we need to tell the Brits that the food is wonderful at Gitmo , they have American dental care and they can get all the man-on-man action they want. They will come a-runnin’…or a-skippin’ accross the pond!
Ok, that does it! I wont be visiting Great Britan in the foreseeable future for fear of being unfairly taxed without representation.
