USA Today reports that "Nobel Peace Prize winner and international symbol of freedom Nelson Mandela is flagged on U.S. terrorist watch lists and needs special permission to visit the USA."
What?!
Mandela, who has become well-known, loved, and respected worldwide for his work in opposing South African apartheid, and for his work for human rights in general, is a hero to virtually all of us within the human rights community, and to countless others around the world. He hardly fits the profile of a terrorist.
But then, consider too that the NSA was caught spying on a group of peace-loving Quakers.
This is how our tax dollars are spent on "national security".
Don't you feel all safe and secure, knowing that our government is protecting us from Nelson Mandela and the Quakers?
