According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), their terrorist list is growing by an average of 20,000 names a month. The ACLU says that over a million people are already on this list.

Let’s get real. Either we are creating a quarter of a million terrorists every year, or else our government has gone bonkers. So let’s look and see who our government believes is a terrorist:

When we start listing 11-month-old infants as terrorists, then I’d have to vote with “bonkers”. When too many people are on the list it makes the list itself worthless, since it doesn’t distinguish between real terrorists and innocent people. Not to mention that many of the people mentioned here were prevented from flying, were strip-searched, or in some cases even beaten, because they were mistakenly identified as terrorists. It makes you wonder how many people being held in secret prisons (or even not-so-secret ones like Guantanamo Bay) are there by mistake.
