On January 27th of this year, 2010, the online edition of the Detroit News carried a story of serious importance: Terror Suspect kept visa to avoid tipping off larger investigation.
If you type those headline words into a search engine today you can see, and will see, the ever widening circulation of this story through secondary sources.
The assertion that Abdulmutallab, the Christmas underpants bomber of Flight 253, was carrying an active USA Visa with US intelligence covert connivance is a stunning accusation.
Is it correct?
