    Even if they are I was kinda rubbed the wrong way by that remark about Cuba. Sure high profile foreign terrorists are sent there (Which makes good strategic sense to not keep them in the homeland) But the USA justice system (While undeniably corrupt) is no where near that bad. Bad was in the 1860s where you could get shot of hung just for wild accusations like what was going on in Ul'Dah in 2.55. IRL the USA actually has to give you a trial and PROVE you did something wrong.

    This works both ways though. Al Capone did a lot of bad things but they couldn't prove them so it was the same as him not doing it. But they COULD prove that he wasn't paying taxes so they did arrest him for that.

    Well, I mean, they probably could prove a lot of the other stuff, too, if not for his ability to afford ridiculously effective lawyer teams and/or judges. . .and/or jurors. Like what I said about Lolorito. >_>

    Same thing. I actually chose Al Capone Specifically because he is the real life version of Lolorito. He can be accused of a lot of things but none of it can be proven because he pays for it to be discredited, the evidence to be tampered with and or destroyed, and then any witnesses mysteriously "Disappear" before any one can talk to them.


    So even though we KNOW Lolorito had some hand in killing Nanamo and framing us we have little more then the same thing they used against us, Wild Accusations with little to no real evidence. But Lolorito has money, reputation, and a whole lot of political pull in Ul'dah where as we..... Are the personal one man/woman army and errand boy/girl to a secret organization that nobody really knows much about.

    So tell me, who would sound more guilty of wild accusations pulled our of a Gobbu's ass, Us and our "Secret Order" or the High Ranking Merchant King Lolorito who is respected by many and feared by all?
