nelson mandela... TERRORIST!
 

nelson mandela is on the terrorist watch list...

'Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says "common sense" suggests Mandela should be removed. He says the issue "raises a troubling and difficult debate about what groups are considered terrorists and which are not."'

Always thought he was a little shifty.......;)

A Real Terrorist!!!
 

He should be thrown in jail for 28 years or so....:rolleyes:

Old news but not surprising given the rulers of South Africa were staunch western/U.S. allies at that time. Back in the late '80s, the college "Review" editions of right-wing student organisations carried headlines of "HANG NELSON MANDELA" in reaction to the gathering movement to free him and overthrow the white minority government.

I believe a terrorist is defined as "Someone who doesn't agree with the current administration."

This thread has more to do with idiocy and politics, excuse me for repeating myself ;), than travel safety/security.

So we were going to switch it to OMNI but the OP is not OMNI-enabled. So we'll close it and invite you to contribute to one or more of the topical travel safety and security issues in this forum.

Thanks.
