Of all people this week, the Japanese tried to justify plans to fingerprint foreigners by saying there was a member of al-Qaeda in the country illegally.
As long as he had entered legally, that would be fine you see.
Kunio Hatoyama said the man was a "friend of a friend" who was connected to the Bali bombing.
Justice Minister Kunio later produced evidence to back up his story.
Even later he said he had not met the man and couldn' confirm his friend's claim. He had earlier suggested this 'story' was an example of stricter checks needed on vistors.
Tell The Truthiness ; No Mr Kunio, this is another example of a rumour based urban legend story used to scare people to giving up basic liberty to protect their liberty. It's pointless, useless and this has been so done to death by the Bush administration.
Change the record.
This is an interesting piece about the funding of insurgents by the US.
