Trouble in Istanbul

Anti-American Turks hassle U.S. Navy sailors on shore leave in Istanbul and, after arrest, are released without charges. See the AFP story via Yahoo News for details.

With behavior such as this, I'm not at all certain Turkey belongs in NATO as a supposed "ally" of the U.S. American tourists should avoid Istanbul for the time being; there is no point enriching abusive Turks with our tourist dollars.
