Oh, I'm just going to love hearing the rationale for allowing our dear, dear partners in the US stigmatise and discriminate against hundreds of thousands of EU citizens on the basis of their origin.

Cancel the visa waiver programme both ways or exempt Americans with Irish heritage - well known for supporting terrorism in the EU - from the visa waiver system.

How in fuck do you tell the difference between an Brit of Indian origin and one of Pakistani origin? Check their parents' birth certs? Would all brownish people from the UK have to bring their parents birth certs with them? Apply for a visa?

How intensely stupid can the US regime be?

No, how intensely stupid can we be?

Give up the visa waiver program. If someone wants to go to the US so badly, they can aply for a visa, and they can see all the information they have to provide and go through the harassment in te comfort of their own home. It's much better than getting turned back on arrival.

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.

Oh, I agree. The waiver programme needs to go at this point: once they start choosing classes of EU citizens on the basis of their ethnic origin it becomes completely unacceptable.

You'll note from the story that the guy claims that it was the intelligence service of US-ally-of-the-month Pakistan that trained him?
