crime : crime : IS BOBBY FISCHER INSANE, A CRIMINAL, OR THE VICTIM OF POLITICAL PERSECUTION? [+] serious ballot by xxxxxxxx created Sun Aug 29, 04 Bobby Fischer, former US world record-holding chess genius spoke out recently in an interview on a Philippines radio station, claiming that he will be: "tried convicted, sentenced, imprisoned, tortured and murdered" when Japan deports him to America, where he faces a 10 year prison sentence for violating international sanctions for playing a CHESS GAME in 1992, in the former Yugoslavia against his long-time Russian rival, Boris Spassky. Fischer has been held in a Japanese jail for six weeks after immigration officers at Narita airport seized his passport, which had been revoked by the US authorities. He has lived in Japan for the past three years and believes he is being persecuted by the US government on political grounds, as his anti-Bush rhetoric is well known. His old rival, Spassky, recently wrote to President George W. Bush to plead on his old foe's behalf. "We committed the same crime," he wrote. "Arrest me. And put me in the same cell with Bobby Fischer. And give us a chess set." When asked whether he would like to return to America of his own free will, Fischer said: "No, not at all. Apart from the corruption, the steroids in the meat, the pollution, it's just a boring empty country. It has no culture, no flavor, not taste." Is Fischer insane, a criminal, or is he the victim of persecution? He is being persecuted He is insane What he did was a crime, he must do the time What do old sanctions mean, anyway? The world is a different place in 2004 Not sure/Don't care/Who's Bobby Fischer? He's a little paranoid, but shouldn't be tried Ballot #48670 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
