Muslims Need Not Apply

That's the title of a report by the ACLU of Southern California which exposes yet another violation of the rule of law (to say nothing of fair play) associated with the endless 'war on terror': since 2008 the US immigration service has been using a combination of watch lists, FBI surveillance data, and demographics such as religion and national origin to deny citizenship to thousands of immigrants without telling them the basis of the decision or giving them a chance to dispute or correct the records.

The ACLU has filed suit to force the immigration service to honor a freedom of information request regarding the so-far secret process which the service has ignored now for over one year.
