If so, does that mean that foreign tourists or business people will no longer be able to legally visit the USA under the Visa Waiver scheme, if they also happen to be bloggers ? Will foreign bloggers be forced to go through the same expensive and intrusive bureaucratic red tape in order to get a Journalist Visa, a process which contributes significantly to the bad press which the USA gets internationally, by pissing off journalists etc. even before they have a chance to start their reports from the USA. e.g. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1231089,00.html Does the broad wording of this Bill apply to foreign bloggers as well ?
