INSULT

Ahem...

President Bush proclaimed his outrage, four federal immigration officials were reassigned, and Washington vowed that such embarrassing bureaucratic snafus would never happen again. I'm sorry to report that it has, in fact, happened again.

On Jan. 15, immigration officials sent a notice to Eugueni Kniazev of Brooklyn. The letter informs Kniazev, a Siberian immigrant, that he is now "deemed to be a lawful permanent resident of the United States." The notice directs Kniazev to obtain a new alien registration receipt card (a "green card"), and instructs him to appear at the immigration office at 26 Federal Plaza with his passport and three recent photos.

The letter warns Kniazev not to travel outside the United States without approval.

But Eugueni Kniazev won't be appearing at Federal Plaza. He won't be traveling anywhere. Kniazev, 47, was an employee of Windows on the World on the 107th floor of the North Tower. He was murdered in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Ummm, I dunno if she realizes this, but there is a bit of a difference here...

It in fact hasn't happened again because the person approved WAS NOT ONE OF THE 9/11 TERRORISTS! That is unless she thinks his job was to get a job & work inside the tower to convince a few of those from his office everything was fine before the attack...

While there is a bit of a shortfall here, this is far different from one of the dead terrorists getting a visa approval... That is unless Michelle thinks everybody who gets visa approval is/was a terrorist...

For the record I'm pointing out the logistics here... I simply think the comparison the author used is beyond stupid...
