What did he say about Sept. 11?

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

Oh, sure, we can't find a legal pretext to have a foreign country turn over Osama bin Laden on a silver platter, but we're insisting on bringing back old pain-in-the-ass Bobby Fischer in chains? Something's wrong with this picture!

The guy is clearly insane. Can't we just use Iceland as his de facto mental ward?

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

They should grant Icelandic citizenship to Terri Schiavo.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

where he is wanted for violating economic sanctions against the former Yugoslavia by playing a highly publicized chess match there in 1992 when he won $3 million in prize money.

Surely the State Department has real lawbreakers to go after, such as illegal aliens.

[conshack]

I say let this moron go, but revoke his citizenship and impose a lifetime ban on getting a visa to the USA. This guy is sorry. Iceland is a good place for his kind.

[John Lenin]

He skipped out on paying taxes on 3.2 million. Nail him.

[American in Israel]

Fischer has been detained at an immigration detention facility in Ushiku, Ibaraki Prefecture, northeast of Tokyo.

Hmmm, wonder if that is what Gaza is in the end. A place to put all the hundreds of thousands of Arabs inside Israel without visas running around yelling Jihad.

Nah, it will never fly. Japan can have Ushiku for runaway chess players, America can have Gitmo for detainees from other countries, but Israel has to build the Jihadi a State of their own instead of sending them back to their own State.

Funny world isn't it.
