Subject: Copy of the FBI's post-9-11 watch list

Here's a copy of the Venezuelan list mentioned in the WSJ article:

I've mirrored a copy here:

http://zem.squidly.org/cache/terroristas.pdf

..and converted it to plain text (with very poor formatting):

http://zem.squidly.org/cache/terroristas.txt


I can't vouch for its authenticity; the document has been modified by
segured.com and translated into Spanish somewhere along the way.

Subject: Fwd: FC: FBI's secret, post-9-11 watch list acquires a life of
 its own

This story reminds me of the "send a get well card to the poor little boy 
in the hospital" that went around the Internet for so many years that it 
had essentially acquired a life of its own.

This blacklist propagated by the FBI will do untold damage to so many 
people for so many years in the future... This is like a biological virus 
with no vaccine or antidote - it will never be stopped and will continue to 
morph and mutate into various forms, acquiring new names and damaging more 
people as it works its way into every conceivable blacklist database around 
the world.

I'd like to say that I am astonished at the lack of foresight shown by the 
government in creating such a destructive entity, but I have seen enough of 
their missteps over the past two years to be surprised by a blunder as 
wrongheaded as this.

Sorry about the rant.

Daniel O'Donnell
