The US government's persecution of Mandela
Last edited Thu Dec 5, 2013, 10:02 PM - Edit history (1)
New York Times in 1990, CIA tie reported in Mandela's arrest:
The Central Intelligence Agency played an important role in the arrest in 1962 of Nelson Mandela, the African National Congress leader who was jailed for nearly 28 years before his release four months ago, a news report says.
The intelligence service, using an agent inside the African National Congress, provided South African security officials with precise information about Mr. Mandela's activities that enabled the police to arrest him, said the account by the Cox News Service.
The report, scheduled for publication on Sunday, quoted an unidentified retired official who said that a senior C.I.A. officer told him shortly after Mr. Mandela's arrest: ''We have turned Mandela over to the South African Security branch. We gave them every detail, what he would be wearing, the time of day, just where he would be.''
And the BBC in 2008, Mandela taken off US terror list:
US President George W Bush has signed a bill removing Nelson Mandela and South African leaders from the US terror watch list, officials say.
Mr Mandela and ANC party members will now be able to visit the US without a waiver from the secretary of state.
The African National Congress (ANC) was designated as a terrorist organisation by South Africa's old apartheid regime.
AMURKA, FORCE FOR GOOD IN THE WORLD!
So, a Democrat put Mandela in jail, and a Republican removed the last bastion of US oppression, huh? Thanks for playing, DUmmy. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024138503)

That is a rare event. The lemmings usually are unable to resist.
