Fascist bastards

No Right Turn has a link to this story. NZPols responded, and then No Right Turn responded right back. Those bloggers, eh?

There's something pretty Kafkaesque about this whole SIS thing - a shadowy bureaucracy that doesn't tell you what you're charged with or what their evidence is, but just takes your passport away. It's worth bearing in mind that this is just the latest in a string of legislation curtailing civil liberties in the wake of September 11.

What would have happened in the Aziz Choudry case if it had been now rather than the late 90s?

I did consider applying to the SIS when they were recruiting intelligence agents (as a bit of a joke), but decided against it. One of the problems with the SIS is its lack of a sense of humour. Well, apart from the evidence against Ahmed Zaoui being a joke that is.

Oh well, if you believe the alleged time traveller John Titor, the US will have a civil war this year and then it'll be all on.
