Ayaan Hirsi Ali

It looks like the Dutch are succeeding in silencing Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She appears to be planning to step down from her seat in Parliament and will hasten her departure for the United States. One hopes she does so before the Dutch succeed in making her stateless as well.

She has admitted for years that she was not completely truthful when she applied for asylum. For this to suddenly become an issue smacks of political payback for something. One hopes that Ms. Rita Verdonk, Minister of Immigration can manage to fix her hair and makeup without a mirror.

Since she sure shouldn't be able to look herself in the eye after this.

UPDATE: Ayaan Hirsi Ali's letter of resignation from Parliament.

UPDATE: It looks like there is a substantial chance that Rita Verdonk is going to lose her job over this if the running reports of what is happening in the Dutch Parliament are correct. There's a massive push by a lot of factions to force Verdonk to grant citizenship immediately. Methinks Rita stepped in it this time.
