Newly released FBI data offer evidence of the broad scope and
complexity of the nation's terrorist watch list, documenting a daily
flood of names nominated for inclusion to the controversial list.
During a 12-month period ended in March this year, for example, the
U.S. intelligence community suggested on a daily basis that 1,600
people qualified for the list because they presented a "reasonable
suspicion," according to data provided to the Senate Judiciary
Committee by the FBI in September and made public last week.
