After reporting last week that Colin Powell asked the State Department to review the immigration case of Tariq Ramadan, the newswebsite proche—orient.info just affirmed that Ramadan's visa has been cleared.

Citing a communique from ESISC, a counter—terrorism think tank based in Brussels, Ramadan was granted his visa after long interviews in Switzerland with State Department representatives, but without the Department of Homeland Security representative.

If this information is confirmed, it shows once again how the State Department is not ready to fight the War on Terror. As I wrote in my first article on Ramadan back in May, the saga has just begun.

With all the publicity he already received, be prepared to see him all over our media, with his charming double—talk.
