I challenged him to fulfill the goal of legislation I authored and Congress enacted to provide relief to individuals such as Saman Kareem Ahmad. who received a commendation from General Petreaus for his work on behalf of the United States in Iraq and instructs U.S military personnel in preparation for service in Iraq. Although Mr. Ahmad was granted asylum. his application for a green card was denied because the organization with which he had once served. the Kurdistan Democratic Party. was deemed a "terrorist organization" by DHS. I urged Secretary Chertoff to use the authority he has been given to ensure that individuals like Mr. Abmad were not denied a place in the United States because of inflexible and expansive readings of the socalled "material support" bar.
