Why am I not surprised by this? How long ARE we going to put up with our inept, completely incompetent Federal government, anyway?! ROLL BACK THE LEGISLATION, CLOWNGRESS! GET RID OF ALL OF THESE ALPHABET SOUP AGENCIES, AND CONCENTRATE ON DEFENDING US, YOU MORONS!

After all, prescription drug coverage is USELESS to me, if I'm DEAD.

"It does serve to illustrate what we have been saying since 1995 -- that the current system for collecting information and tracking foreign students is antiquated, outdated, inaccurate and untimely."

That's a FRIKKIN' UNDERSTATEMENT!

Insulting to our National Senses

If it wasn't so f**king sick, it would be hilarious.

That's government protection for you. Thanks, guys.

"I think it is certainly embarrassing that the letters show up at this late date," said INS spokesman Russ Bergeron. "It does serve to illustrate what we have been saying since 1995 -- that the current system for collecting information and tracking foreign students is antiquated, outdated, inaccurate and untimely."

No sh!t, Sherlock.

And now these same idiots are in charge of airport security. Great.

However, What a great example for all of to use in future debate.

Sheesh!

The student visa requests were actually granted months later -- on July 17, 2001, for Atta, and August 9, 2001 for al-Shehhi -- but postmarks indicate the letters of notification were only sent out to Hufman Aviation last week. They were received Monday, the six-month milestone of last year's terror attacks.

This is chilling.

Somebody at the DOJ and the White House had better wake up - SOON.

Former INS District Director Tom Fischer told CNN that "the letters should never have been sent." Their delivery, he said, was "a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing."

In most businesses, a statement like this would get you canned. At the INS, it is a solid argument to demand more money and more power.

I have to take my shoes off twice for the same flight, and Atta just gets his visa approved for flight school. I feel safe from any future terrorist activity, how about everyone else?

[mombonn]

Anyone want to bet how many heads will roll over this?

I'm guessing ZERO.

If they had waited--in a few days, they could have been here as illegals...and got amnesty--as the House will vote on the amnesty bill this evening at 6:30 p.m. EST.

This isn't suprising as it takes a million dollars to deport an illegal. At least that's what the Clintonroids said about Elian.

[Diogenesis]

Nothing to see here.

Move on.

If our nation had the sort of media for which the 1st Amendment was written instead of the megalithic, monolithic and "liberalithic" media we DO have we would see some major outrage in all media about this. Our Founding Fathers envisioned the press as a "watchdog" - speaking out and defending the citizens against the government. Instead we see today's media attacking the citizens on behalf of the government. If our nation's people ever rise in righteous rebellion against tyranny I hope we remember the role media played in establishing that tyranny. Heads should be rolling off shoulders at INS as well as the Dept. of Justice now - and the media should be demanding these heads as trophies.

Yep I would say that describes the US Immigration and the remainder of the US government!
