Define ‘Nice’

Talk about a scoop — Wired’s Joshua Davis has been on the phone today with John McAfee, who’s on the lam from police in Belize, wanted for the murder of his next-door neighbor:

McAfee is currently on the run from the police. “Under no circumstances am I going to willingly talk to the police in this country,” he told me this afternoon. “You can say I’m paranoid about it but they will kill me, there is no question. They’ve been trying to get me for months. They want to silence me. I am not well liked by the prime minister. I am just a thorn in everybody’s side.”

Nonetheless, McAfee insists he has no plans to leave the country. “I like it here,” he says “It’s the nicest place on earth.”
