I hadn't heard about that. I just looked it up on the net and now I'm
even more convinced that the US "authorities" are living in la-la land.
Here is another interesting article about homeland security gone mad...

Well, he was denied probably because he's suspected of giving money to
Hamas. I believe that Israel deported him a few years ago, as well.

Derek,
I normally don't respond to this type of stuff but let me just say....
If 3 planes flew into downtown Sydney and killed innocent people let's
just see how "la-la" the Australian government would get!
We live in a different world today and Stevens (or whatever his new name
is) and the lady in the article quoted (who didn't follow our guidelines
and therefore came into this country illegally) will just have to GET
OVER IT! WE decide who comes into this country. Just as Australia,
England, France, Russia, etc. decides who comes into their countries.
There, I feel better....

Seems the software that runs this forum is hellbent on blocking any
response I make to this thread!

Derek an I have both conceded that this topic is not appropriate to
EuForm. I would certainly be willing to comment on any responses sent
via private email.
Sorry Rob...
