No, not an Arab, not a Muslim. This is Jeremy C. Wright, a Canadian blogger who was interrogated & banned from USA.
Him: Why would you visit someone in the states you'd never met (I mentioned I was planning to visit several people whilst down there)
Me: Well, I have met most of them, but I've talked to them dozens or hundreds of times online.
Him: Do you have any of their phone numbers?
Me: No, but I talk
Him: You can't talk to someone without a phone number. Stop lying to me.
Me: No, really, I can talk from my computer to theirs
Him: Don't be a smartass. If you don't have their phone number, and you've never met them, how can you have ever talked to them.
Me: (at this point I've learned that sarcasm doesn't help, nor does answering questions he doesn't want to hear the answer to)
Him: So, you're trying to tell me that you're going to visit someone who you've never met, never talked to and who knows nothing about you? And I'm supposed to believe this?
Me: (This was two hours in, and minutes before I demanded to be released)Ads
