Bobby Fisher, the great chess player, is waiting in a Japanese prison? while deportation hearings take place to send him back to the US. His "alleged crime" is that he defied a U.S. ban on doing business with Yugoslavia.
One would think that in a free country, a private citizen conduct business with whoever they wanted, travel wherever he wants (if the country he visiting allows him to), and not have his own government try and impede his business. But, hey, what do I know? Maybe freedom does mean get permission first? Just let me know and then let me find my papers...
