Re: Come home Ed, all is forgiven.
Oh, you know the answer to that. He must remain steadfastly in the BAD column, regardless of constitutional law, the courts, human decency, and whatnot. It's a matter of them what wears the pants not liking that he exposed their tawdry state of affairs to the public in the first place. They may have been chastised, but that hasn't altered their capacity for vendetta, nor the hubris that they exhibit in persecuting folks who rightfully are concerned about it.
No, I fear it is still not safe for poor Edward to return to his homeland.
