nandorman email | If you were an oddsmaker in Las Vegas, what odds would you currently put on Newt Gingrich being our 44th president? Iamthefallen slashdot | I'm just curious, what do you think about denying citizens entry based on alleged terrorist ties? The federal government has barred two relatives of a Lodi man convicted of supporting terrorists from returning to the country after a lengthy stay in Pakistan, placing the U.S. citizens in an extraordinary legal limbo. Muhammad Ismail, a 45-year-old naturalized citizen born in Pakistan, and his 18-year-old son, Jaber Ismail, who was born in the United States, have not been charged with a crime. Federal authorities said Friday that the men, both Lodi residents, would not be allowed back into the country unless they agreed to FBI interrogations in Pakistan.
