Now this is totally unacceptable

http://news.com.com/2100-1022-998118.html

People and employers with references to "Sudan, Burma and five other countries" are having those references automatically removed by Monster.com, claiming such removal is required by Federal law.

"In a move the company claims is designed to comply with federal regulations, Monster.com on Thursday will delete most references to those countries from job postings and resumes. A note that Monster.com sent to affected users says: 'Your resume will be altered, removing all sanctioned countries from your resume.'"

Regardless of whose idea this was, exactly how is the world going to be a better place as a result of this policy?
