no-fly lists and other outrages

[choie]

I am listening to Ring of Fire on Air America and they are talking about the no-fly lists, one of which includes those people who are against the war. This is the second time this week that I've heard about this - on The Majority Report, Sam Seder interviewed James Moore, the writer of Bush's Brain, who is also on this list. He stated that even though he has gone through the "process" to get his name off the list, he is still constantly tagged before he boards a flight. This is clearly politically motivated harrassment. Now, my question is - where the hell are the Democrats on this issue? Why haven't the Dems, including Ted Kennedy, who himself was on the list, screamed bloody murder about this? I just don't understand it. Supposedly the Transportation Security Agency will not release the names of those on the list. Isn't there any oversight of this agency? Aren't those Dems on the committee that oversees this agency allowed to see who is on this list??? Are the Democratic senators and congress people so cowed that they won't say anything about it??????? What the hell is going on???? :argh:
