Dubai sounds like a real paradise



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

It's no wonder Halliburton moved to this dreamy location. For all of the bankster types who don't want to be regulated by anyone and work without hassle, they will surely want to take advantage of such a lovely working climate where anything goes. Their families will find this a great place as well. The Guardian:

The wealthy Gulf prince at the centre of a "torture tape" scandal has been accused of attacking at least 25 other people in incidents that have also been caught on film, it has been claimed.

Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan is now under investigation in the United Arab Emirates after the shocking tape showed him beating a man with a nailed plank, setting him on fire, attacking him with a cattle prod and running him over.

But now lawyers for American businessman Bassam Nabulsi, who smuggled the tape out of the UAE, have written to the justice minister of Abu Dhabi - the most powerful of the emirates that make up the UAE - claiming to have considerably more evidence against Issa.
Maybe, just maybe, it doesn't make sense to share nuclear technology with Dubai. Call me old fashioned, but maybe it's time to go retro and move beyond being a country of torturers and supporter of torturers. Building a future with brutal thugs like the prince doesn't sound very progressive.
