Heaneyland!

Tourists, yes. Journalists, no.

The harrowing tale of an Australian journalist's brave attempt -- despite the American government doing everything it could to prevent her -- to interview Olivia Newton-John. I know some people might think that the act of expressing that much interest in Olivia Newton-John's career merits being locked in a detention cell and not being fed anything but a stale roll for ten hours -- but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's a little extreme.

Note that, had the reporter lied about the intent of her trip and claimed to be a tourist, she would have been cleared for entry into the country, no problem. Apparently freedom of the press is good enough for us, but not for those filthy Australians.
