Really banned?
Reader comment on item: US Ambassador Visits UK Mosque With Radical Ties

Submitted by Paul, Dec 3, 2010 02:22

Mosque officials were told of concerns about Awlaki's activities and his ban from the United States before they included him in the Jan. 2, 2009, event. Much of those concerns were included in an article in the Telegraph.

Was he really banned? Is there a US source for this, rather than an almost certainly rogue claim from British media? Surely a ban on a US citizen would have been unconstitutional, and other sources have indicated the FBI wanted to get him back to the US for questioning.
