definitely removing this country off any possible future travel plan lists... earlier this week i started a discussion over the outrageous sentencing of a couple to a month in jail for a peck on the cheek in a public place. now dubai hits the news again. this time a couple is facing 3 months incarcerations for "conspiracy to commit sin" due to racy text messages that were sent. conspiracy to commit sin? o.O so now you will be jailed for only THINKING about doing something? /boggle i halfway understood the whole PDA charges that were brought up on the other couple earlier.. they DID kiss on the cheek afterall.. and should be flogged for it of course. but this goes beyond the imagination. http://news.travel.aol.com/2010/03/18/dubai-cabin-crew-jailed-for-sexy-texts?ncid=AOLCOMMtravdynlprim0866&icid=main|htmlws-main-n|dl4|link4|http%3A%2F%2Fnews.travel.aol.com%2F2010%2F03%2F18%2Fdubai-cabin-crew-jailed-for-sexy-texts%3Fncid%3DAOLCOMMtravdynlprim0866

Unbelievable...I can only compare this actions to a certain dictator and I dare not say who, but I think many can guess...
