Cat Stevens deportation

It was all over the news yesterday, but I was too busy engaging in ridiculous anger and geekishness to think about it.

Juan Cole suggests somewhat sardonically that it's a case of just deserts due to Steven's support of the fatwa against Salmon Rushdie. Me, I think it's a case of just deserts due to Stevens having written and continually performed "Wild World". Why he wasn't in chains years ago for that is a complete mystery to me.
