I feel like the cautionary tale of being spoon fed bullshit, believing in said bullshit, finding out that it really is bullshit, and then regretting said bullshit can be applied to other things in today's day and age, here and abroad.
Sucks for her.
I heard this story on NPR this morning, and from what they were saying the father was not a diplomat at the time of her birth, which would make her a citizen.
Honestly, if she's a citizen then she should be allowed to come back and face charges. If not, then IDGAF about this whole thing. Sucks for her, but not our problem, it's Yemen's.
