Righting Wrongs: U.S. Approves Visa for Indian Scientist
Shankar Vedantam writes in The Washington Post:
State Department officials said yesterday that the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi has granted a visa to a prominent Indian scientist who said he was accused of deception and potential links to chemical weapons production when he applied to a U.S. consulate.More here.
Goverdhan Mehta said he was told two weeks ago that his visa had been "refused" and that his expertise in chemistry could be a threat to U.S. national security. The case caused a furor in India just days before a visit by President Bush next week that is aimed at building warmer ties between the world's two largest democracies.

Ah ha ...... This event made the news 'cause of two reasons: Indian Scientist and Visa Refusal.... I have been myself a victim of a policy like that and had to abondon going back to USA after living and working there for 6 years. My car, home, furniture and books, job all were lost just because of that. I contacted my lawyer, my employer contacted their lawyer to find out the reasons, but everytime they came out with lame excuses.
I am so sorry to say that US has surpassed even the most arrogant nations in practicing arrogance.
