Adventures in Homeland Security

Former Taliban member is a Freshman at Yale. "In some ways I'm the luckiest person in the world I could have ended up in Guantánamo Bay. Instead I ended up at Yale."

On the other hand:

A British legal resident of the United States faces deportation because of a marijuana arrest 14 years ago. Read his story here.

Did you have a chance to read the whole article? I found myself thinking that maybe, just maybe, this won't come back to bite someone in the ass. Of course, I seem to recall people who had extended hospitality to men of similar background being in complete shock when they found out they were involved in terrorist activities. I need to find more info on that, I'm just going on memory.

Yeah, I read the entire article. After reading it, I became sympathetic to him. He was very young when he joined the Taliban and he seemed to question a lot of their policies. I think his exposure to the West and to Yale are a good thing.
