Who to believe? Some muzzie whose wife lives in Yemen? Or the US State Department? This is a conundrum.

Think about this: if they do this to him, they’ll do it to you and twice as bad.

This report provides only four of the five “W”s.

It gives the who, what, when and where.

It fails completely to address the “Why”.

Why would the U.S. State Dept. “force” people to sign confessions and then use the confessions to confiscate their passports.

I'm not even saying I do not believe that the State Department did it ( with Obama & Kerry in charge, nothing is beyond the realm of possibility ) - I'd just like to see some attempt at explaining WHY they did it.

If Obama had a younger brother, he’d look like Rayman Hussein.

“Or the US State Department? This is a conundrum.”

So, why isn’t the State Dept doing this for those who are south of our borders?

I guess, he didn't pay a (customary) bribe to his local
DNC chapter or he's not an Red Guard from Iran.

How’d he obtain US citizenship only two after coming to this country with his family?

During a routine visit to Yemen to see his wife, who also has US citizenship,

Some questions here. Is the wife a Yemeni who acquired US citizenship, then moved back to Yemen?

Or is she a native-born US citizen, who married a Muslim, converted to Islam, "visited" Yemen, and now is essentially held prisoner there?

When we lived in Sana’a, my wife kept a flower garden. Chemical fertilizer is not available so we had to revert to natural manure.

We visited a chicken farm and my wife, in her best Arabic, tried to haltingly explain to the farmer what we were there for.

He listened to her patiently and then in flawless English replied: “Why didn’t you just tell me that you wanted some chicken shit?”

Came to find out that he had lived in NJ for 15 years and that he was a US citizen. There are many US citizens of Yemeni origin who went back to their country of origin. Many have worked in the auto industry in Detroit.

“..US citizens of Yemeni origin who went back to their country of origin..”

this is true all over the world. During the tight election Bush had in Florida, I had occasion to read an Israeli newspaper which bragged about the huge number of Israel/US dual citizens living in Israel with no intention of returning to the US. They just wanted a US passport in their pocket. At one point in the article it said so many were registered to vote in Florida (absentee) they could control state elections from there.

How does this person become a citizen after living only two years in the U.S.? It is my understanding that five years of residence is required unles married to a U.S. citizen. Then it is 3 years in residence.

“Red” it and it says he received his citizenship two years after arriving on our fair shores “with his family”....

“Rayman Hussein, who came to the US with his family in 1993 at the age of 10, and became a US citizen two years later...”

Rayman Hussein, who came to the US with his family in 1993 at the age of 10, and became a US citizen two years later, was forced to sign a document declaring that he had obtained the passport with a false identity by a US State Department investigator while on a visit to Yemen in 2012. During a routine visit to Yemen to see his wife, who also has US citizenship, Hussein came to the US embassy in Sana’a to apply for the citizenship of his newborn son... Hussein, who is now stuck in Yemen trying to figure out how to get home to Oakland, California, told Al Jazeera “I grew up in Oakland, went to school in Oakland, and now I’m being treated like a complete stranger by my own government.”
And his "wife" is also an "American citizen" but she lives in and gave birth in Yemen? Even though it's only Oakland, BS, let him rot in his birthplace. Thanks nickcarraway.
