2. Got that a little wrong. It is the "good" list headed for gitmo.
the resisters to the bush regime, from here to Fallajah, are on Santa's good list, and * bad list.

3. CIA Spied on Santa - The Story Breaks:

Bush authorized CIA to tap Santa's List



by Fintan Dunne, BreakForNews.com 24th December, 2005

NORTH POLE - Fresh on the heels of an illegal wiretapping scandal, the Bush administration is embroiled in new
controversy after revelations that CIA operatives posing as elves have penetrated a computer-based system used by
Santa to flag potential gift receipients as 'naughty' or 'nice'.


The purloined data were then crosschecked against "no-fly" lists and National Security Agency databases of terrorism
suspects, on the basis that the 'naughty' status of even such as children could be an indicator of their parents
threat level to U.S. national security.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan defended the move, arguing that it was valid protection of vital U.S.
interests and that Santa had "an unrivalled intelligence gathering apparatus, which was the envy of security agencies
worldwide".

"The American people would not thank us if we failed to exhaust every avenue to protect them, and thus exposed this
country to another terrorist outrage," he told reporters.

"Law-abiding citizens and 'nice' children everywhere have absolutely nothing to fear," said McClellan. "This was
simply an additional input to the process of our evaluation of potentially dangerous individuals and interfered in no
way with the normal process of gift delivery".

But in a prepared statement, a clearly embarassed Santa denounced the practice and compared it's constitutionality to
previous concerns over infringement of the attorney-client relationship.....
