From the U.S. Visa application form:

Hmm, Osama Bin laden with intelligence reports would say... May be?
A terrorist who knows his code of conduct and who was taught "Honesty is the best city" and "Truth is the virtue of all terrorists" and "Dont lie even if you face being gagged and blind folded for a few years in Guantanamo Bay, where all the camera's can see you walking around but you can only see a cloth made in Indosesia"
I guess these were asked to be included by CIA as a part of its renewed vigor at intelligence collection and analysis.
Piece de resistance: At the bottom of these questions the document says "While a YES answer does not automatically signify ineligibility for a visa, if you answered YES you may be required to personally appear before consular officer." So if I am terrorist, I would say yes coz my teacher taught me to say yes and then I go to the Consulate so that I can get a free ticket to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. 2 birds (read countries) in one shot (read yes).
