TROY, New York — The Dogans were a quiet family little noticed by their neighbors here in upstate New York. Ahmet Dogan had come to the area from Turkey to study accounting at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

He was a serious student; the Dogans did little entertaining. But when their younger son, Furkan, was born in 1991, the family threw a party and a neighbor recalled a toast “to the first U.S. citizen in the family.”

I thought it was an interesting article, shining a bit of light on a young man who has been slurred, demonized, and worst of all ....... nearly forgotten in the rush to cover up the atrocity against him.
