In a Press release from HDnet(via the Biloxi Sun Herald), who airs the DAN RATHER REPORT,
Rather will detail an interesting angle in the struggle that Iraqi Refugees, specifically those who helped the US government, are having to endure in order to get to the United States:
” This Tuesday’s “Dan Rather Reports” tells the story of how hundreds of refugees from Iraq who were forced to pay ransom to kidnappers are stuck in an undetermined vacuum, with faltering hopes of getting out of the Middle East. The very reason for their flight, may now be what is keeping them from gaining refugee status in the United States. Because by paying ransom to kidnappers, the U.S. says, they may also have supported terrorism and fueled the insurgency.”
The report will appear on July 1st and will subsequently be displayed to watch online @
