WritersBlok, I did not know this but I am not surprised.   Nothing much surprises me anymore.

Unbelievable!!!

Care and caution seem lacking, and or the ability to simply say NO!!

Hi Corbin,

I saw that article from John Fund. Have you seen this professor's blog?

Straightforward, I am not surprised about Yale's actions but am very concerned about lapses in the State Department issuing visas to enemies of war.

That goes to show that the US is not one monolithic entity and that is a

positive thing

Yep...but that's par for Yale....

Check this out from John Fund at the WSJournal......

Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi's luck is running out. Eight weeks ago the Taliban diplomat turned special Yale student made a media splash on the cover of the New York Times magazine in which he proclaimed: "In some ways I'm the luckiest person in the world, I could have ended up in Guantanamo Bay. Instead I ended up at Yale."

But the continued outrage over the news that an unrepentant former official of a criminal regime whose remnants are still killing U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan is part of the Ivy League is catching up with him. Yale is about to establish tougher standards for the program under which he is applying to become a degree-status sophomore next fall, and the consensus is that Mr. Hashemi won't measure up.

Taliban Man's days as a Bulldog look to be numbered. But Yale may be about to stir up new controversy as it appears to be on the verge of offering a notorious anti-Israel academic a faculty position.
