The Watchlist

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has stated that the US has produced a watch list of suspected and known terrorists, containing the names of more than one million people. According to the ACLU the list is growing by an average of over 20,000 records per month.

Among those on the watchlist are rather bizarrely Saddam Hussein who was actually hanged in 2005, decorated war veterans, and US senator Ted Kennedy.

The Transportation Security Administration has flatly denied the one million names figure; they say it contains a "mere" 450,000 people.

So that's alright then!
