Well, have the State Dept revoke his visa. The State Dept does have someone in charge, right?

Just more signs that the US visa process still needs to be overhauled. I thought that those problems would have been fixed after we issued student visas to some of the 9/11 terrorists after 9/11.
Some interesting info on the Yale Taliban connection via Sen Kennedy and CBS at http://deepkeel.com/2006/04/05/356
Our "liberals" only dislike *American* religious fundamentalists, not the ones that shoot women in the head for showing some ankle, like this Talibird. Why? Because both of them--libs and Taliban--smell like goats.
But let's cut the guy some slack; mebbe he's majoring in `Wymens Studies' there at Yale: http://www.library.yale.edu/rsc/women/interest.html
(I liked to study women myself as an undergraduate.)
Dunno - it screams "quid pro quo" and this guy could have given Certain People a ton of information. OTOH, would Yale's admissions people be corrupt enough to do it on their own? You bet they would.
Connecticut ping!
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
Apparently this guy has about a 3rd grade education, which makes him an intellectual among Islamics.
What does Yale look for?Students and parents often look for a specific answer to the following question: If a candidate presents A, B, and C, will he or she be admitted to Yale? Unfortunately, so many factors are at play in the selection process that outcomes for most candidates in the pool are impossible to predict. We estimate that over three quarters of the students who apply for admission to Yale are qualified to do the work here. Between two and three hundred students in any year are so strong academically that their admission is scarcely ever in doubt. The great majority of students who are admitted, however, stand out from the rest because a lot of little things, when added up, tip the scale in their favor. The difference between a successful and an unsuccessful candidate at Yale is often painfully small....

In the end, everything in an application matters. The good news is that so many little things figure in an admissions decision that it is fruitless to worry too much about any one of them.
