Interesting Story.

Just goes to show should anyone ever forget the rules 'over here' are somewhat different to those at home............ remember folks, there is no concept (as it is known elsewhere) of freedom of speech, nor the rule of law. Take care out there, especially with what you write or say in public. 'Thought crimes' may be next!!

Beware GAL

Yes, agree, foolish (with hindsight) to rant when you have not cleared the country, HOWEVER I have knowledge of the Company. Not to be recommended by me anyway, 'Caveat emptor' springs to mind - VFR

VFR - Actually it says he had cleared the country, made the comments when he was back in the USA and then he was arrested when he arrived back into the UAE.
