A week ago I posted about the ex-Iranian President applying for a Visa to the US for a “Peace Conference” at the Useless Nations.  Looks like the State Department kissed butt to the sanctimonious piece of Islamofascist promoting butt kisser Kofi Anan.  It isn’t only the Ex-President (Terrorist) Khatami who gets a Visa but his Islamofascist henchmen guards.  Wonder if we’ll allow these terrorist murderers to carry weapons?  Wonder if they will require US protection from the Secret Service or some other Law Enforcement Agency?  Wonder who will be paying for this if that’s the situation?

U.S.: Khatami’s Visit Schedule
August 23, 2006 19 33  GMT

Former Iranian President Mohammed Khatami’s visa is being processed by the U.S. Department of State, with planned stops in early September at Georgetown University, Harvard, Chicago and the University of Virginia, sources said Aug. 23.

From Yahoo News:

The Bush administration, which is in a diplomatic tussle with Tehran over its nuclear plans, will allow Iran’s ex-president  Mohammad Khatami to visit Washington next week, the State Department said on Monday.

Khatami, whose reformist government ceded power last year to current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has asked for a visa to deliver a speech on reconciliation and other issues at Washington’s National Cathedral on September 7.

“If he (Khatami) does intend to travel to the United States for the purposes for which a visa was requested, then it is my understanding that the visa will be issued,” said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.

“This was a decision that was made (to allow Khatami a visa),” said McCormack, adding that he did not know whether a visa had been issued yet.

He said there were no plans for U.S. officials to meet Khatami during his proposed visit.

Khatami would be the most high-profile Iranian to visit Washington since ties were severed between the two countries after the 1979 Islamic revolution and 52 Americans were held hostage in the U.S. embassy for 444 days.

There are strict restrictions in place for any Iranians wanting to visit the United States, except for at the  United Nations where Iranian diplomats can travel within a very limited area.

I’ve have long been leery of Secr. of State Rice and this only furthers my concern.  I find this outrageous.
