325,000 Names on Terrorism List

325,000 Names on Terrorism List:

"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 -- are U.S. citizens."

"A very, very small fraction" of 325,000, say one-fourth, would, I suspect, account for every person who ever voiced a public opinion contrary to Bush doctrine. And that, my friends, is the worry.
