Goldman Sachs is in trouble in Europe, first over their role in helping Greece hide its true debt picture from the EU, and now for the actions that landed them in hot water with the SEC. There’s one more little wrinkle to this story, though, that could make it much more complicated for the US government, and that wrinkle’s name is Philip D. Murphy.

Edward Horgan, a well-known Irish activist and former Irish Defense Force officer, has had his 10-year, multiple-entry U.S. visa revoked without explanation. Horgan and others believe it is because of his principled stand against the U.S. use of renditions, and in particular, the use of Shannon Airport in western Ireland as a stopover for U.S. rendition flights. The Obama administration should be ashamed for its behavior in keeping Mr. Horgan from entering this country.
