But they said that such an application was not listed in the appropriate index in immigration and naturalization files, and hence no search was conducted. Mr. Clinton was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford University in the late 1960's.
"You can't search through files if there are no files," said a spokesman for the Home Office in London when asked about an article in The Washington Post today that said the office had conducted a "comprehensive" search of immigration files for information about Mr. Clinton.
The wording is just weird. They looked and didn't find it, probably because it didn't exist.
This, of course, is different because now they are questioning where the person was born and whether or not an existing government certified document is valid. A much more volatile subject. Just wanted to put this story into perspective, I'm not arguing any points anymore
Fraudelently obtained government certified documents are investigated all the time. Usually having to do with illegal aliens trying to fraudelently obtain them. Didn't the 911 hijackers use fraudelently obtained drivers licenses?
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
