George Bush has signed a special bill that allows Nelson Mandela to travel freely to the USA without going through a special process because the DHS classes him as a “terrorist.” Nelson C. adds, “Now, if only people who aren’t world leaders could get off watch-lists so easily….”
A US senator said the new legislation was a step towards removing the “shame of dishonouring this great leader”.
Under the legislation, members of the ANC could travel to the United Nations headquarters in New York but not to Washington DC or other parts of the United States.
(Thanks, NelsonC!)
