Today's AP story on the Gate on the Berkeley vote not to pass a resolution to resettle Gitmo detainees reports:
The resolution singled out two Guantanamo detainees who have been cleared of wrongdoing but don't want to return to their home countries because they fear persecution -- Ravil Mingazov, a Russian ballet dancer, and Djamel Ameziane, an Algerian chef.
That is just plain wrong. As I wrote Sunday, these detainees have not been cleared.

A new immigration scam. Hook up with the Taliban and get captured, it takes less time than a formal application.
LOL. The bay area would welcome them.
My newest pitch for a “Celebrity Death Match”:
1. National anthem to be attempted by Christina Whalegulera.
2. Steel cage preliminary death match: Chazz Sheen vs. Malcolm
3. Championship: Winner of above vs. LiLo in a Cocaine snort off. When you die, you win.
I love it!!!
FABULOUS!
