 Townhall.com :: Columns :: Visas for suspected terrorists? by Joel Mowbray   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The State Department is fighting a terrorism task force's recommendation that suspected terrorists be denied visas--and this is the same department that wants to hold onto the visa power in a time of war when our enemies want nothing more than entry into the United States.
State's response to FTTTF is in keeping with its reaction to my reporting on Visa Express in Saudi Arabia: it twists the truth and sticks to its guns in advancing the interests of foreigners.
State, however, finds the law inconvenient, so it intentionally distorts the law: "[I]f there are no grounds under the law on which to deny an alien a visa, the consular officer is required to issue a visa," Armitage wrote.
