ah Henry Rollins
I was just listening to the National Interest and they carried this great story about Henry Rollins being reported as a suspected terrorist to the Australian Government's terrorist hotline because he was reading Ahmed Rashid's best seller, "Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia" on a plane to Brisbane.
He bitched about it on Page Six magazine (part of the NY Post):
"Days later I received an e-mail from a woman who I guess figured out who I was and found me. I had been named a 'person of interest.' Basically, they get calls like this every five minutes, and I'm probably on the 'who cares' list, in that they'll probably let me into the country again."
"But the fact that this guy could be that ignorant and call me in on this for a book . . . I was angry. Because of the fact that the guy wouldn't confront me. I like confrontation. If I've offended you, let me know. Don't call it in and not leave your name. I just think it's pretty weak."
"I do a lot of work for the USO because soldiers are my heroes," he said. "I've done six USO tours outside of America and a few hospital visits, and the soldiers are the best. I've been to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Dubai, South Korea, Honduras, Japan, Egypt and Turkey."
