Thanked: 1371There is not enough information in that article for me to make a decision, and I haven't taken the time to research it yet.
What does it take to get on the terrorist watch list? That's the big question to me. If there are no checks and balances to that, and it takes away people's rights then I am fully against it.
Or maybe a better question, how big of a deal is the watch list? How much evidence that someone is a terrorist is needed to add their name to the watch list? If all it takes is some beaurocrat saying "I think this guy needs to go on the list" just based on the fact that someone thinks maybe that person might be dangerous somehow, then no rights should be taken away.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
