There’s some good news for Ayaan Hirsi Ali today: Ayaan Will Be Dutch, No Matter What.

NOS Journaal reports that both the international pressure and national pressure in support of Ayaan has worked. Minister of Integration Rita Verdonk announced tonight that Ayaan Hirsi Ali will receive a Dutch nationality, no matter the outcome of the investigation Parliament demanded Verdonk to conduct.

Coincidentally, Verdonk was heavily scrutinized today in a ministers-meeting. Balkenende specifically mentioned the harm Verdonk did to the image of the Netherlands (of the Netherlands not being tolerant, etc.).
