350,000 names in terror databases

(AP)Police and other government workers in the U.S. have come in contact with terrorists or people suspected of foreign terror ties more than 6,000 times in the past 28 months, the director of the federal Terrorist Screening Center said Tuesday.

The encounters in traffic stops, applications for permits and other situations have resulted in fewer than 60 arrests, said Donna Bucella, whose agency maintains a list of 200,000 people known or suspected to be terrorists. The list contains an additional 150,000 records that have only partial names, Bucella said.


So, either the number of terrorists has exploded upward under Bush's leadership in the war on terror or they're putting hundreds of thousands of innocent people on the list of known or suspected terrorists.

Which is better?

  • Or are some of the people on the list those who disagree with Bush's policy?"You are either for us or against us."
