US Tells Brazil to change its policy?
http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/01/07/terrorism.threat/index.html

The U.S. State Department has changed its stance on a new Brazilian security process for U.S. citizens entering the South American nation. Washington is now urging Brazil to alter its new process of fingerprinting and photographing U.S. visitors.

"We have told the Brazilians that we think that these are measures that provide tremendous inconvenience to travelers and that they need to be changed," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Tuesday.

I think every country should fingerprint and photo Americans entering their country in light of our history of sending spies to destablize every nation on earth that we deem to be an enemy. Why shouldn't south American countries like Brazil and especially Venezuela have such a policy? Now guess who inside Brazil is attacking Brazil's new policy?

2. I likewise think
that every country should fingerprint and photograph every single entering U.S. citizen. Maybe even pull them aside for an extra couple of hours of interrogation.

The people running the show in this country simply don't understand that what they do has consequences.

3. Brazil should watch out Defiance is now the reason for invading Iraq

since the WMD turned out to be limited to intellectual capacity.

Brazil just might have some unauthorized intellectual capacity folks that need to be rooted out.
