It sounds like someone knowingly fabricated false information. If so that person should be civilly and criminally liable because that act caused obvious harm.
So, it seems like an elaborate cover, to justify the obvious reasons of her heightened scrutiny. What was not clear in the article is if/when this stopped. Tbh, you could have reasonable suspicion just for the documentary, but that would have looked worse than a security incident. I will now remove my Reynolds Cap.
"The detentions stopped abruptly six years later after a 2012 news article highlighted her travel problems."
It looks like she just published some things someone didn't like and they decided to punish her by putting her on the list. Why not? There's no consequence for it.
Even if it's true that she broke the law with regards to the ambush, how does that lead to being stopped and questioned every time you enter the country?
is Laura a US citizen? when the US invaded Iraq what laws were in place? Seems like a pretty big leap to say that "A female was videotaping us" to "she knew an ambush was about to take place"
