Would be Incendiary Terrorist's Father Directly Warned the U.S. Embassy Weeks Ago
U.S. government officials tell The Associated Press that the Nigerian man charged with trying to destroy a jetliner came to the attention of U.S. intelligence in November when his father went to the U.S. embassy in Abuja, Nigeria, to express his concerns about his son.

A congressional official said Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian, popped up in U.S. intelligence reports about four weeks ago as having a connection to both al-Qaida and Yemen... Neither was the information sufficient to revoke his visa to visit the United States... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091227/ap_on_go_ot/us_airliner_attack_intelligence

Meanwhile, I have friends here from India and Pakistan with backing and sponsor letters who cannot pry a visa from the cold dead hands of the embassy.

This shite pisses me off and deserves a :wtf:
