Subject: RE: BS: Is the Blacklist back?
Over one million names! How in the world have we survived with so many terrorists running around?!
The ACLU drew its 1 million figure from an October report by congressional auditors, who put the number of names on the list at more than 750,000, with about 20,000 names being added each month.
"This list is not only a bureaucratic nightmare that has captured millions of people in its web, but it diverts our security resources, so it actually makes us less safe," said Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU's technology program.
