Yusu, Habib, unfortunately in times like this,the hard work that these
people put in does not count. This is politics to the core; the justice
dept. had to show congress and the American people that they're doing their
job. The Gambians in Atlanta and others like them are collateral damages
that always follow government anxieties. Lets hope their fate can be
salvaged and they be allowed to seek employment elsewhere.
