America goes mad

Have you ever been or are you now involved in

espionage or sabotage or
in terrorist activities or
genocide or
between 1933 and 1945 were you involved , in any way, in persecutions associated with Nazi Germany or its allies?

This is from DPF, It was on his declaration to get into the states with a visitors VISA. I think they have actually lost the plot, surely noone in the world is stupid enough to answer yes.

I have seen some stupid things in my time, but this really takes the cake. I like Davids idea to leave it balnk and ask customs for a definition of genocide, or terrorism.


Comments:
PaulL made a good point - if you answer NO, they can deport you for making a false statement, which apparently is easier to act on than a full investigation.

I suggested a NZ version:

1. Have you ever knowingly condoned flagrant use of tax payers money to promote a political party, say through a 21 million dollar TV campaign, or targeted bus shelter campaigns?

2. Have you ever implied anything (after ignoring the evidence in the transcript) an SST journalist would take to mean a member of our Police Force was acting inappropriately?

3. Have you ever directed over 200 million dollars into a tertiary institution with no expectation of results?

4. Have you ever purchased a Cuban literacy program for more than 6.9 million dollars?

5. Have you ever had a calendar commissioned for your office using tax payers funds at a cost of $45,000 when Whitcoulls provided one for $15.90?

6. Have you ever been engaged in art forgery?

7. Have you ever been accused of "losing" 8 billion dollars due to an accounting irregularity of other people's money shortly after announcing a surplus?

8. Have you ever used government (SOE) enterprises to assist with tax minimisation schemes in excess of 700 million dollars?

9. Have you ever directed some-one to exceed the speed limit by more than 50KM/hr and then later claimed not to have noticed the speed?

10. Are you or any of your close colleagues undergoing a police investigation at this point in time?
