IBM rescinds job offer to pro democracy activist.
Edited on Mon Sep-24-07 09:21 PM by Liberal_in_LA
Heard this story on the radio today. Not much info on the link below. Let me summarize.

Nguyen Tien Trung is a pro democracy activist in Viet Nam. Young Vietnamese programmer gets job offer from IBM. Says he later gets a call from IBM human resources asking about his political activities. Then gets letter or call rescinding job offer. IBM won't comment.
