It seems that the US State Department will admit former Taliban officials on student visas to study at Yale, but won't admit Iraqis who've worked with the Coalition. The NYT reports on a 2004 Olympic athlete who defied the jihadists to box for Iraq. Now he wants to come and study in the US, has a sponsor and a school lined up, but can't come in.
Then again, I shouldn't be surprised -- last time I went through Customs there were 5 lines for foreigners and one for US residents. Only in America.
