about secret lists- if someone is stopped from a terrorist action the government can say they were on the list and that is why they were stopped. If an attack succeeds they can say the person wasn't on the list, so it isn't the government's fault.

Why when did these lists become popular with Democrats? I seem to recall we condemned them when Bush II implemented them.
