See, it's only okay if WE do it

First the administration declared that it would photograph and fingerprint all foreign visitors (with the exception of 27 lucky countries) coming into the United States. In retaliation, Brazil said they would do the same. Now, the US has the audacity to complain:

The U.S. State Department has changed its stance on a new Brazilian security process for U.S. citizens entering the South American nation. Washington is now urging Brazil to alter its new process of fingerprinting and photographing U.S. visitors.

"We have told the Brazilians that we think that these are measures that provide tremendous inconvenience to travelers and that they need to be changed," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Tuesday.

Uh . . . wanna repeat that once more?

UPDATE: US tries to piss off the British.
