too bad it's highly unlikely that they found weapons that they didn't bring themselves, but if they want to bend public opinion to believe that evil gays are running around with weapons, so much the better.

Unfortunately this is Playbook Strategy #1 in the Discredit Your Enemy chapter. He who controls the press controls the rebuttal. It's all just puerile propaganda although Tatchell is a serious activist.

It's odd that the EU has a weird double standard: don't arrest Mugabe for war crimes because he is Head of State, but okay to arrest Pinochet because he is no longer head of state.

Not that Mugabe plans on retiring any time soon, but George B you might seriously think twice about not paying a visit to Europe after this term is up.
