Walled In

This is no surprise:

The NYT fronts a look at how U.S. officials are trying to figure out a way to prevent British citizens of Pakistani descent from being able to enter the country without a visa. Officials say they are concerned that many of the terror plots uncovered recently involve Britons who have ties to Pakistan, and just like any British citizen they could enter the United States without a visa. For some reason the paper decides to refer to this, in the story and headline, as a "visa loophole."

I've got an idea. Let's have a "skin darkness test" that determines if you get in or not. Better yet, how about just not letting anyone in.

Seriously, this story is an example of how Bush has spread terrorism. Now "home grown" al Qaeda types are showing up throughout Europe and the rest of the world motivated by the jihad against the imperialist Americans. Now they're coming from Briton, our strongest ally, not just the middle east. There is no way they'll be able to stop a terrorist from entering the country. The solutions have to be more subtle, with more international support and will take quite a while to implement ... thanks to G.Dub.
