Make the List Public

Indeed. All of these people have had their clear constitutional and legal rights violated under direct order from the president of the United States. Who knows, some of them may be bad guys. One of Arianna's resident wingnuts, who I'm sure is just there to be a chew toy and is apparently practically illiterate, argues this:

They're terribly upset that the President has authorized the interception of around 30 international communications by people inside the United States who have been determined to have "a clear link" to al- Qaida or related terrorist organizations.

No, Bush has just reauthorized the program 30 times. Not 30 international communications, which in any case would still be 30 violations of the law. The NYT:

While many details about the program remain secret, officials familiar with it say the N.S.A. eavesdrops without warrants on up to 500 people in the United States at any given time. The list changes as some names are added and others dropped, so the number monitored in this country may have reached into the thousands since the program began, several officials said.

And Bush claims:

Bush said in his address that it is used only to intercept the international communications of people inside the United States who have been determined to have "a clear link" to al- Qaida or related terrorist organizations.

Wow, there are thousands of people in the US who have been determined to have "a clear link" to al Qaeda. If true that's pretty damn scary. Of course, it's just bullshit, but the administration has been lying to us about this stuff for years.
