US Cuts Visas for Malawi Side Chicks and Ben10

The United States refused to give travel papers to partners of Malawian officials heading to a New York money meeting. People who applied included wives, girlfriends, and even a young male companion of government leaders going to the IMF talks. American officials rejected these requests because they did not follow rules for official trips. The group from Malawi had 43 members, with some tribal chiefs among them. This choice made people ask questions about what matters most to their government.
