Dear Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: I call upon you to immediately reverse the misguided policy at our embassy in Amman, Jordan, where Christian Iraqi citizens -- many of whom served as translators, cooks, and contract workers for the American government and Armed Forces -- are required to deal with the United Nations in order to apply for resettlement in the United States. These families were forced to leave their homeland due to threats from Muslim extremists, then stuck in refugee limbo in Jordan. And to top it off, they must deal with Muslim employees of the UN . . . employees who routinely deny them their rights and blackball them simply because they are Christian. These families, who risked their lives by helping the United States in Iraq, must be allowed to deal directly with our embassy in Amman. Please, Secretary Clinton, issue a directive ordering the embassy personnel to review and approve the applications of these brave families who have sacrificed so much for freedom in Iraq.
