Ayaan Hirsi Ali update

Ayaan Hirsi Ali left The Netherlands for the US saying she was sorry that the government had resigned.

I just don't feel that way at all. They withdrew the security protection she'd had for several years because of the citizenship dispute. It was handled so badly when it was dealing with someone who had already stated the facts years before.

Withdraw someone's passport and question their citizenship and it seems they are not to be given protection when they have been under threat for years with a collegue who has been murdered and when they are a prominent political figure.

I think the resignation was justified.
