U.S. Terrorism Watch List Tops 1 Million Newsmax.com - U.S. Terrorism Watch List Tops 1 Million Quote:
WASHINGTON - A U.S. watch list of terrorism suspects has passed 1 million records, corresponding to about 400,000 people, and a leading civil rights group said on Monday the number was far too high to be effective.
The Bush administration disagreed and called the list one of the most effective tools implemented after the September 11 hijacked plane attacks -- when a federal "no-fly" list contained just 16 people considered threats to aviation.
The American Civil Liberties Union publicized the 1 million milestone with a news conference and release.
| There are now a possible 1 million terrifying terrorists amoung us in America. |

I'd like to thank President Bush and the Department of Homeland Security for keeping America safe for the last 7 years. Despite a hostile enemy full of success in other countries, we've steered clear of further terrorist attacks on our homeland.
