Feds to Create Single Terror 'Watch List'
3 minutes ago

By CURT ANDERSON, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Cops on the beat, airport security personnel and officials who issue U.S. travel visas would have access to a single anti-terrorist "watch list" containing more than 100,000 names under orders issued Tuesday by President Bush (news - web sites).

The Terrorist Screening Center, a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week operation under the FBI (news - web sites)'s lead, will merge a patchwork of a dozen existing lists currently maintained by nine different federal agencies — but not always accessible to the officials who need them.


The CIA (news - web sites) will provide information on individuals with ties to international terror organizations, such as al-Qaida and Hezbollah. The FBI will feed the center its data on individuals sought for domestic terror activities, such as bombing abortion clinics or torching sport-utility vehicles.

3. A list of tree-sitters amd first amendment zone sign holders and library

book borrowers who take our "bad" books?

Given that the FBI and CIA have a hard time making out a list of a hundred names of folks actually into terror, I suspect our right wing friends with pad the list a bit with names of those who are suspected of not being friends of Fox network cable news or the New York Post or Scafie's "think tanks" or Coulter and her friends. How else will they get to 100,000 names!

Indeed those 100,000 names may be a great mailing list for those unamerican, non-patriots, that oppose Bush and the destruction of the USA and transfer of monies to the rich that he is leading!
