"some of which have turned out to be unfounded"
So some of it was with merit. As far as the land of the free, absolutely. However not without some vetting of foreigners and locals. Other than the shock of 911 I have noticed no changes to my personal freedoms. I come and go as I please with reasonable ease. I dont have to carry a national ID card, You may in the near future. I dont have cameras watching my every move as I stroll down main street.
Maybe they thought you were exporting your soccor hooligans. Or the next Richard Reid or other unsavory Brits.
A newspaper article you C&P somehow equates to the prisioner scandel and a general condemnation from you. You are simply trolling for a fight aren't you?
Has the Brit pictures been found to be fake by those who dearly dont want to admit the UK's possible culpability to the same as the US?
Even if they are fake, all we learned about prisioner abuse came from your boys in H block. No torture went on there did it Beagle? May I reccomend a good book? Read "The British Dimension" by Denis Faul and Raymond Murray. It might be an eye opener about British prision abuse and torture in NI. Your lot were excellent teachers.
