U.S. Terrorism Watch List Now Has 325,000 Names

The National Counterterrorism Center maintains a central repository of 325,000 names of alleged international terrorism suspects or people who aid them, a number that has more than quadrupled since the fall of 2003, according to counterterrorism officials.
The list kept by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) - created in 2004 to be the primary U.S. terrorism intelligence agency - contains a far greater number of international terrorist suspects and associated names in a single government database than has previously been disclosed. Because the same person may appear under different spellings or aliases, the true number of separate individuals is estimated to be more than 200,000, according to NCTC officials.

U.S. citizens make up "only a very, very small fraction" of that number, said an administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of his agency's policies. "The vast majority are non-U.S. persons and do not live in the U.S.," he added. An NCTC official refused to say how many on the list - put together from reports supplied by the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency (NSA) and other agencies - were U.S. citizens. <snip>


<snip>"We have lists that are having baby lists at this point; they're spawning faster than rabbits," Sparapani said. "If we have over 300,000 known terrorists who want to do this country harm, we've got a much bigger problem than deciding which names go on which list. But I highly doubt that is the case." <snip>

1. If you belong to ACLU, PETA, Greenpeace, Vets for Peace, what else?

Sure that list includes these. And many more.

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU, I donate to Greenpeace

and Vets for Peace. I'm sure ANY and ALL anti-war activist groups...Code Pink, ANSWER, ect....are on the list. Oh ya, let's not forget the Quakers.:eyes: The Quaker terrorists.:eyes:

[acmejack]

3. Oh my, I belong to all those groups!

Do you think I am on it more than once? It's a shame that I have an asterisk that says disabled-we've already used this one up & probably has my complete VA medical record attached. They'll just cut off my meds if I get out of line too much.

5. Is Bush on the list?

"If we have over 300,000 known terrorists who want to do this country harm, we've got a much bigger problem than deciding which names go on which list. But I highly doubt that is the case."

Looking at America and saying, "Whoa, something is wrong. I love America and something needs to be fixed." - Is that so bad?

6. No shit. The most dangerous terrorist the world has known

is the idiot-in-chief. Who is ever going to take that man and his cohorts out of the WH? WHO?

4. Joe McCarthy is smiling broadly right about now.

"Are you now or have you ever been ..... "

7. Here's one guy on the list...

a Jesuit priest who's been jailed for demonstrating more times than I've been in Burger King.

9. Peace supporter = TERRORIST?

How sad is that? A Jesuit Priest and Quakers? They're turning logic on it's head.

8. Does this not bother the idiot * supporters?

If they can't narrow it down any more than that, either we're toast, because I don't think we could stop 300k+ terrorists already in the country from doing some pretty bad things .... or BushCo doesn't have a clue who to watch. Of course, we have to remember that this isn't really about stopping terrorists for BushCo -- it's about maintaining power for themselves by silencing dissent and rounding up those who are not blinded by their propaganda.

KBR awarded Homeland Security contract worth up to $385M (HAL) By Katherine Hunt
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- KBR, the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton Co. (HAL) , said Tuesday it has been awarded a contingency contract from the Department of Homeland Security to supports its Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in the event of an emergency. The maximum total value of the contract is $385 million and consists of a 1-year base period with four 1-year options. KBR held the previous ICE contract from 2000 through 2005. The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to expand existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs, KBR said. The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster, the company said.

13. Kick! Do you think your name is on this list? nt

[Just Me]

14. Is this the list created via "key words" in emails and blogs and stuff?

I swear, this country has gone mad,...completely bonkers.

How did U.S. citizens get on that list? Via domestic spying? :shrug:

[babylonsister]

15. I don't know how this list was created, but you can bet all those

names are NOT terrorists. So that flies in the face of what this admin is trying to claim about their spying. Why this isn't hammered on over and over is beyond me!
