The Whatever Hotel is hardly the White House. How far is the White House building located from the street? To highlight just one fundamental difference.

...and all the roads around the White House are now permanently blocked off.

The report is that they were arrested out the front of the US presidents hotel. That would obviously be a restricted area in any city.


Why? People visit and walk by the White House every day.

...under the watchful eyes of snipers.


As opposed to the snipers at the hotel?

You really can't blame the security services of either country...
...after all, there are millions of people who would like to see him dead.
I myself do not...then we'd have President Chenney.


<Shudder>

I don't blame the security services but it would be nice if once, just once, they'd admit they mucked up.
Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges.

I'm waiting for the barbed wire and attack dogs.

Could you imagine what would have happened if Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the team(jackass) pulled this off? Either great television or a cruel tragedy

Well the security services are to be blamed... Not for the stunt but that it got so far. They won't openly admit their mistake but you can read it between the lines. The tone of the official comments I have seen makes it pretty obvious they are embarrassed and deflecting criticism onto the Chaser guys.

That's the best definition of a win/win situation I've seen in a long time. ;)

Gee, I wonder where they learned how to do that?
