Terrorist Watch List Hits 1,000,000 Names

According to a tally maintained by the ACLU, based on the government's reported numbers, the terrorist watch list has hit the one million name mark!

A couple years from now, it will probably be easier to go the other direction, that is, just list those who are not on it.

The list has some strange aspects to it, as it includes members of Congress, nuns, war heroes, and people with common names like Robert Johnson and Gary Smith.

Perhaps one way to deal with all these potential terrorists is to adopt the McCain "Kill An Iranian" policy. So, to get started, if your name is Robert Johnson or Gary Smith, please go by your local federal building for a free carton of cigarettes. And if you're a suspicious nun, don't feel like you're left out; you too can pick up the habit.
