Bogus bin Laden breaches Bush security

I read about this early. An Australian news crew, masquerading as Canadian dignitaries, managed to drive up to the entrance of a hotel where Bush was staying in Sydney.
Despite the fact that one of the passengers was a bin Laden lookalike clearly dressed in Arab garb.

so the claim about racism and driving or flying while arab is not true, cool, always thought so

This is Australia. In the U.S., everyone in the vehicle would have been shot.

Yep, like the praying Imams. Gabby, hyperbole isn't your strong suit.

New South Wales police were severely embarrassed by this. I'm still wondering how they got away with it. But as much as I'v read about how the Chaser team were charged and now how the charges were dropped (I should have had money on that, could have got some good odds) but not a thing about if the negligence was investigated, not a thing, just a bit of lip curling from their Commissioner who sooked on about how bad it all was.

We have the same problems. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton get away with everything.

The cops are frightened of them - and I don't blame the cops for one second!
