Majikthise : Iraqi co-author of Lancet casualty study denied visas:
"An Iraqi scientist who co-authored the famous Lancet study of excess civilian deaths following the invasion of Iraq was denied a visa to come to the United States to collaborate with colleagues, as well as a temporary transit visa through Britain in order to speak in Canada.
Dr. Riyadh Lafta and his colleagues worked for months to get a visa for Lafta to give an epidemiology lecture at the University of Washington. The U.S. refused to grant him the visa."
