Flaws found in the FBI Terror List

As if it was just discovered, the justice department now admits to finding flaws in the F.B.I. terror list. How many people have been unjustly targeted by the F.B.I. Would you believe at least 24,000 people? Why? Because the F.B.I. had outdated and sometimes irrelevant information, as they were tracking people who shouldn't have belonged on the list. At the same time, as the F.B.I wasted resources on people who shouldn't have been on the list, others that should have been on the list had no government attention. For a past president who stressed that national security and terrorism was at the top of his list, the erroneous list of mistakes posed a risk to national security, because of the failure to flag actual terrorism suspects, and an unnecessary nuisance for non suspects who may be questioned at traffic stops or kept from boarding airplanes. You can't help but look at a past president, President Bush who did nothing to correct the issue, or was he just to blind and incapable of recognizing the facts. Actually the infamous list has been a long time target of public criticism, so you would think that the past president would have known what was going on. The list was so flawed, that it actually contained the name of Senator Edward M. Kennedy and Representative John Lewis.
The information was just so outdated. At least 35 percent of the people listed on it are without question people who do not belong on the list. Our past President Bush was so afraid of terrorism, that he was willing to put so many people in situations that they had to endure just because of their name. It was almost a sense of being guilty before being proven innocent. The Bush era has now come and gone, and President Obama is taken the steps to make right what other past Presidents made wrong.
