US in move that may bar foreign researchers

In a knee-jerk reaction, the US is supposedly going to propose rules that restrict foreign nationals from doing high-level research in the wake of the recent arrests of 4 Chinese-Americans for spying.

I think this is a mistake for a country that depends upon importing academics based on our outstanding colleges and universities. I've advocated a more moderate approach. We cannot chill foreign talent from coming to our country, and this potential proposal may do just that.
