Abstract
As D. J. Galas and H. Riggs write in their Editorial “Global science and U.S. security” (20 June, p. 1847), the United States is famous for attracting the world's brightest minds and most brilliant talents. A significant portion of top-notch research has been and is still being done by an international community of nonimmigrant and immigrant postdocs who help populate the best U.S. universities. Many international scientists see the recent actions of the United States and President Bush as blatant violations of international law and conventions and are greatly offended by them. Additionally, the difficulties for young scientists in obtaining exchange visitor visas, not to mention immigrant visas, and the tightened security measures and repressive surveillance actions against scientists in general are already taking their toll on international scientific cooperation.
