Nelson Mandela Taken Off U.S. terrorism watch list
Thanks to a bill President Bush signed Tuesday, former South African President Nelson Mandela will finally be taken off of a U.S. terrorism watch list!!! Yes, Mr. Mandela and other members of the African National Congress have been on the list because of their fight against South Africa's apartheid regime, which gave way to majority rule in 1994. The bill gives the State Department and the Homeland Security Department the authority to waive restrictions against ANC members. "He had no place on our government's terror watch list, and I'm pleased to see this bill finally become law," said Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts
