Independent journalist Brandon Jourdan recently returned from Haiti after being on assignment documenting the rebuilding of schools in the earthquake-devastated country. However, when he returned to the United States, he was immediately detained after deboarding the plane by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. He was questioned about his travels and had all of his documents, computer, phone and camera flash drives searched and copied. This is the seventh time Jourdan says he has been subjected to lengthy searches in five years, and has been told by officials that he is “on a list.” Jourdan joins us in our studio. Catherine Crump, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, says that Jourdan is not the only one facing such treatment by the Obama administration. Crump says many journalists and lawyers who often work abroad have also experienced similar interrogations—and the ACLU believes the First and Fourth Amendments must be honored within U.S. airports.

Whenever govt makes "lists," esp secret ones with no publically known criteria, it's a bad, bad sign.

Yes, as I posted earlier, one of the ways in which Jews were more pro-active than they were painted in the holocaust was that when the initial list of 600,000 was made, half of them promptly fled the country. I think part of the reason our govt. Doesn't circulate this part of the story is that it is busy making lists.

Yeah, unfortunately lists like that are nothing new, certain people are on "the list" its a bummer and I don't like it.
