US Gives Brazilian Terrorist Visa So He Can Listen to Jazz in New Orleans

Wednesday, 14 October 2009

Brazilian economist and journalist Paulo de Tarso Venceslau, a former Brazilian guerrilla who in 1969 was involved in the abduction of US ambassador Charles Elbrick, has been extended a visa to travel to the United States by the consulate office in São Paulo.

According to Venceslau, the fact the American President Barack Obama administration agreed to extend him a visa marks a complete different attitude from the previous government of former president George Bush.

For three times the economist applied to visit the US and three times had the visa denied for being in a black list as a terrorist.

Congress member Gabeira had requested a visa during the administration of former President Bush but was rejected and impeded from traveling to the US.

How gracious of them to finally relent and grant the "terrorist" a visa (/sarc).

Isn't there any other way he could listen to jazz?
