From the page: "Why are there so many names on the U.S. government's terrorist list? In September 2007, the Inspector General of the Justice Department reported that the Terrorist Screening Center (the FBI-administered organization that consolidates terrorist watch list information in the United States) had over 700,000 names in its database as of April 2007 - and that the list was growing by an average of over 20,000 records per month.1 At that rate, our list will have a million names on it by July. If there were really that many terrorists running around, we'd all be dead."

My favorite is the Senator's wife who has the same name as a singer who converted to Islam. They can't even be competently prejudiced.

From the page: "U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy (D, Mass.) After repeated delays at airport security, the senator had trouble getting removed from the airline watch list despite calls to Homeland Security and eventually a personal conversation with the Secretary of DHS."

The US Terrorist Watch List grows by some 20,000 people every month.

Some days, I swear the Right are fans of Monty Python. "Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope..."

If there were really that many terrorists running around, we'd all be dead. Terrorist watch lists must be tightly focused on true terrorists who pose a genuine threat. Bloated lists are bad because * they ensnare many innocent travelers as suspected terrorists, and * because they waste screeners' time and divert their energies from looking for true terrorists."

It's about fear, yes. But its also about the Bush administration's inabilty to attract and hold competent square pegs to fit in the round holes of their bureaucracies. When you try to put a cop on every corner in America, you're bound to get some jerks who can't fill out a traffic violation form properly.

Just a complete sorry assed mess...
