The final paragraph is a serious concern. If two hill people get fingered and have problems getting off, what is the reliability of the don't fly list (actually pretty poor and what is the usefulness in preventing terrorists (pretty poor) and what should people thing of the measures their government is taking to protect them (not much).

He is a great American hero.This is the same John Lewis who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King and was
beaten bloody on the Selma march in the 1960s.No matter how supportive folks may be about the list, news like this greatly reduces its credibility, and hurts the credibility of our domestic security
effort.It's a thin line between targeting "terrorists" as enemies and targeting all those in the other political party as enemies. Many millions of Americans
feel the Bush Administration crossed this line long ago, and things like this reinforce that . I think even the most conservative members of this list must admit that putting Democratic Congressmen and Senators on "watch lists" hurts the reputation of our security, makes more people suspicious of our securityservices and, in the end, does terrible damage to our security interests.

Interesting that being in the House of Representatives is insufficient to get one's name removed. http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/20/lewis.watchlist/index.html -- Ted Faber http://www.isi.edu/~faber PGP: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.asc Unexpected attachment on this mail?
