According to the New York Times magazine, Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former ambassador-at-large for the Taliban, is now studying at Yale on a U.S. student visa.
How is it that a taliban official is now a student at Yale?

As former Yale faculty, the answer to that is easy:

Yale administration suffers from what is politely referred to as "moral relativism."

Let me put it more bluntly:

Yale administration suffers from moral absence.

Very, very, very sad. Yale won't allow ROTC on campus, but this dude from one of the most repressive regimes on earth is welcomed with open arms.

Swiftvets: the same people and thinking caused your horrors.

Also see WSJ piece at http://www.opinionjournal.com/diary/?id=110008020

(I hope a jihad doesn't start because the WSJ called this fellow a dog....)
