Let’s look at the facts about Mandela:

1) 90 years old
2) Nobel Peace Prize recipient
3) disagrees with Bush

no question – he’s a terrorist!

I hope Nelson never has to come to our pathetic country again until we revert to law from anarchy. I can’t believe that he has been labeled a terrorist for this long for helping to end Apartheid. You can see how our leaders really feel about freedom. Clearly, they are not “for it”. They have to make special pronouncements.
This is truly disgusting.

Wow. That was big of them.

Yeah, and I’ll bet they moved him right over to the “HIV/AIDS” travel restriction list.

Please forgive me for asking this. But, when did Apartheid in South Africa end and when was it that Mr mandela became President?
And they’re just removing the ANC from the terrorist list. Seems like quite a few admins were asleep at the switch on thsi one. (As much as I’d like to blame the Bushies for all that is wrong, I jsut can’t do it on this one).

Great, now if only the NO FLY LIST database could be updated to allow him in! Nah

“…arguing that if the A.N.C. was removed from the list then other groups would want to be removed, too, the staffer said.”

…and the State Department would then be powerless to resist other teorist’s requests, for feqr of accusations of being unfair?

That’s the arguyment from grown-up lawyers? Apart from being the most criminal in recent memory, this administration is surely and unequivicably the most infantile.

Nobel Laureate and former South African President Nelson Mandela is so scary, did you know that he is BLACK???

Good Gawd, why do we have ignorant children running our government?

Heh. Perhaps we ought to designate George Bush, Dick Cheney, John Yoo, Karl Rove, David Addington, Condi Rice — and all the rest of them terrorists – so we can restrict *their* travel.

I think we should require that they travel to The Hague.

Did Kindasleazy’s department do a flip-flop because this an election year? Perhaps the African American voters will forget how Shrub let them die in the streets of New Orleans and vote for McShrub. And perhaps I will win the lottery tomorrow. Or perhaps it will just seem like I won the lottery when Obama sends Shrub packing in Jan. 09.
