Why Is the U.S. Trying to Deport a Friend of Freedom?

As one wag said a couple of weeks ago, Team Obama finally found an alien they want to deport.

But the administration's bizarre sense of political-correctness may cost this deportee his very life. For though Mosab Hassan Yousef is a much-respected, best-selling author, he is a Palestinian Muslim who has converted to Christianity. That alone is a death sentence.

But more dangerous still, Yousef was a spy for Israel. Thus, his life wouldn't be worth a nickle were he deported back to the West Bank.

So what could possibly be motivating our government to act in such an outrageously unjust fashion?

Here's a brief recap of this Homeland Security scandal from the Wall Street Journal.
