I've Been Thinking:

The truth is often stranger than fiction.

The story:
A family claiming to be from Sudan applied to be refugees in Israel.
They explained that they escaped Darfur, crossed all of Egypt and then secretly and skillfully crossed into Israel.
Safely in Israel the family applied to remain in the Jewish State.
As they were being processed, the application hit a snag.

The snag:
The names of two of the six children seemed to be out of place.
They were Uday and Qusay, the names of the children of Saddam Hussein.

The result:
The application was denied.
The family was not really from Darfur, they were from Iraq.
They were just trying to get to Israel, a better place to live.
