Post Sept 11 Hijackers Get Training Visas - 6months on

The ever efficient US immigration service have finally notifed Huffman Aviation that two of their students have been issued M1 visas. No big deal there except that the two students in question were involved in the events of September 11. And the visas arrived on the 6 month anniversary!!. .. .<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/03/12/inv.flight.school.visas/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/03/12/inv.flight.school.visas/index.html</a>. .. .As the report says, the actual visas were granted a long time ago and flight schools are usually amongst the last to know. So thats alright then?
