The Sixth Nonsense
There's now over a million names on the government's "Terrorist Watch List." In a previous Civil Discourse comic I wondered why small children with common names like "Robert Johnson" are questioned. Today's comic deals with even more baffling suspects: dead people! The 9/11 Hijackers made it onto the list only after they killed themselves in the attack that prompted the Bush Administration to go crazy and start throwing everyone from Ted Kennedy to Cat Stevens on the list! The currently deceased deposed dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, is on the watch list. Yes, that's right. Who knows what kind of experimental toxin or magic spell could awaken Saddam's evil corpse. If/when this happens, he will no doubt catch a First Class flight to the States. That's when we nab him! Keep an eye out for any other dead enemies of the state on your flights. Timothy McVeigh, John Wilkes Booth or Benedict Arnold may take to the skies any day now.
We intend the comments portion of this blog to be a forum where you can freely express your views on blog postings and on comments made by other people. Given that, please understand that you are responsible for the material you post on the comments portion of this blog. The only postings that we ask that you refrain from posting and that we cannot permit on our website are requests for legal assistance and postings that could cause ACLU to incur legal liability.
One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party. Although we in no way wish to discourage you from that activity elsewhere, we ask that you not engage in that activity on our website (or include links to other websites that do so). Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising or requests for legal assistance, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites. We are not able to respond to unsolicited inquiries, complaints or requests for assistance sent to this blog. Please direct your complaint or request for assistance to the ACLU affiliate in your state. Requests for legal assistance left in the blog comments will not receive a response or be published. Finally, the ACLU cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information in the comment section and expressly disclaims any liability for any information in this section. 1 Response to "The Sixth Nonsense " |

Nixon's enemy list was rather short in comparison to George Walker Bush's list
