Eritrea: Südenbock einer fehlgeleiteten amerikanischen Außenpolitik
Mussie 11/9/2007

Eritrea scores major diplomatic victory in The Hague. "
"
One of the international officials involved in the meeting said the Eritreans had made compromises and their account was fairly accurate."
Frazer scrambles to the rescue to salvage The "Christian Empire" of Ethiopia. 
Some are wondering who is hiding behind whose skirt now.
"On Saturday, a top U.S. official said Eritrea was aiding rebel fighters in Somalia, where Ethiopian troops are helping the U.N. backed government battle an Islamic insurgency."
Frazier scrambles to salvage The "Christian Empire" of Ethiopia. 
A
Déjà vu to Eritreans of the sixty's generation.  Eritrea was "Moslem" and "Arab" then.
(Napalms, phosphorous bombs,  cluster bombs,  poisoned wells and  all..)

 The first ever: A nation whose president is a Christian, a nation that is equally divided into
                       peacefully existing Christian and Moslem communities, and itself a victim
                       of jihadist terrorist attacks is about to be listed as a nation backing terrorists.
                       Protect Ethiopia's interest at any cost using any pretext.

Embassy of Eritrea, Washington, DC: Eritrea Categorically Rejects "Findings "
of Senator Richard Lugar's Staffer

..The Embassy of Eritrea has contacted the offices of Senator Lugar, who is on Travel to Russia. The Embassy has requested a meeting to discuss this issue and other relevant issues relating to Eritrea upon his return...

 ...it might hurt its own law abiding fellow Americans and the improvised  families, relatives and  friends they support and, sadly, the children and families of our  martyrs more than it would the regime.

Eritrean-Americans, permanent residents, Eritreans seeking asylum and Eritreans wishing to visit and immigrate to the US have justifiable reasons to be more concerned about the threat made by Jendayi E. Frazer, the assistant secretary of state for African affairs, to Add Eritrea to List of Nations Backing Terrorists than those who reside in other parts of the world. One in South Africa or Stockholm can not comprehend the consequence of such a decision on the lives of Eritreans in the US.  It might not be far fetched when some say that if  the State Department acts on its threat, it might hurt its own law abiding fellow Americans and the impoverished  families, friends, and the children of martyrs that they support more than it would the regime. 

How much are the lives and livelihood of millions of Eritreans worth to you, Ms. Frazer?

If there such a heavy burden of proof, as indicated below, to convince a US court that the an individual accused of crime  is guilty  beyond a reasonable doubt, should'nt there be a higher burden when the lives and livelihood of millions of Eritreans is at stake?

Presumption of innocence is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials has in many modern nations. It states that no person shall be considered guilty until finally convicted by a court. The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which has to convince the court that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In principle, the defense does not have to 'prove' anything. However, the defense may present evidence tending to show that there is a doubt as to the guilt of the accused. (source Wikipedia)

Special Visa Processing Procedures - Travelers from State Sponsors of Terrorism
Section 306 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act of 2002 (EBSVRA) pertains to the issuance of visas to aliens from state sponsors of terrorism.
The language for Section 306 of the EBSVRA in pertinent part follows:

No nonimmigrant visa under Section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)) shall be issued to any alien from a country that is a state sponsor of international terrorism unless the Secretary of State determines, in consultation with the Attorney General and the heads of other appropriate United States agencies, that such alien does not pose a threat to the safety or national security of the United States. In making a determination under this sub-section, the Secretary of State shall apply standards developed by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney General and the heads of other appropriate United States agencies, that are applicable to the nationals of such states.

State Sponsors of Terrorism
By Steve Macko, ERRI Analyst
Once a country gets on the U.S. State Department's list of nations that sponsor state terrorism -- it's very hard to get off.
..Even when Washington acknowledges that it cannot trace any direct links of terror attacks to a country -- that country will probably stay on the list.
...

Computer Access for State Sponsor of Terrorism Nationals

All requests for foreign national access to computer systems beyond the BNL Visitor Network (bnl.org) must undergo the review and approval process specified in the section Processing a Visit/Assignment Request. Access to systems that store sensitive information, or access to any system by a State Sponsor of Terrorism National requires a Cyber Security Plan (SST) before approval.

U.S. State Department's State Sponsors of Terrorism List

From Amy Zalman, Ph.D.,
According to the U.S. Department of State's Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism:

State sponsors of terrorism provide critical support to non-state terrorist groups. Without state sponsors, terrorist groups would have much more difficulty obtaining the funds, weapons, materials, and secure areas they require to plan and conduct operations. Most worrisome is that some of these countries also have the capability to manufacture WMD and other destabilizing technologies that can get into the hands of terrorists. The United States will continue to insist that these countries end the support they give to terrorist groups.
