Yale Alumnus Responds
HERNDON, VA Yale University enrolls the Talibans former spokesman but continues to prohibit other Yale students from organizing a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) chapter on campus. The University also seeks to deny students the right to hear from military recruiters about employment opportunities.
On February 26, the New York Times Magazine reported that Yale admitted Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, the deputy foreign secretary of the Taliban, into a non-degree program, with a chance to gain full degree status by 2006. In some ways Im the luckiest person in the world, Hashemi told the Times. I could have ended up in Guantanamo Bay. Instead I ended up at Yale.
Young Americas Foundation program officer, Yale alumnus, and former Army Captain Flagg Youngblood responds: That my alma mater would embrace an ambassador from one of Americas declared and defeated enemies and in the same breath keep ROTC and military recruiters off campus shows where Yales allegiance falls. Yales actions show that they consider the U.S. military more evil than the Taliban.
While at Yale in the mid-nineties, Flagg worked with members of Congress and other Yale students and alumni to combat ROTCs second-class status on many campuses across the country. Flaggs frustration with the 70-mile drive to the University of Connecticut in order to participate in ROTC culminated in the passage of the Pombo and Solomon amendments which prohibit any Federal funding from going to schools that bar military recruiters and/or ROTC from campus. The Supreme Court is currently reviewing the constitutionality of the Solomon amendment.
Interviews with Mr. Youngblood are available upon request

It's never too late...
The liberals and al Queda are ferocious allies of convenience, although both will deny this. The Yale al Queda/Taliban sociopath shows the true linkage of course.
The problem began when we let Hashemi into this country - he should be deported immediately. I can't believe this is happening.

I believe the libs call that part of their nuanced approach
I'm sure that come election time Moveon.org or some other liberal organization will make effective use of the awarding of a student visa to a former Taliban government official and the turning over of management of our ports to the UAE.
I don't see why we shouldn't stop from doing it now...(-:
Please tell me they don't get one DIME of federal money.
It sure is.

Actually, you should be kissing the collective asses of the mainstream media and college professors nationwide. |
Otherwise, you'd be dancing at the end of a rope for mass murder.

I hope it's ruled constitutional when appealed.
Deport, hell! Kill the bastard! Now!
Youngblood will be on Hannity in a minute!
There is NO reason that he should have gotten a visa.
Ping!
Keep out multi-billion dollar Arab investors, but let in known enemies of the state to our universities? Where is Hillary now!

Hope somebody offs this punk.
