- Ferre1, on 05/01/2008, -13/+261In related news; Americans wonder why the rest of the world thinks they're retarded.
- meltlight, on 05/01/2008, -13/+240real question is: Who's NOT on the terrorist list?
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -4/+82At least he's Nelson Mandela, there's no chance he'll be in any REAL trouble. That's not the case for ordinary people who are mistakenly put on terrorist lists, they could just end up in Guantanamo for no reason!
- BishkekBuddy, on 05/01/2008, -24/+86This is just unbelievable! I can't wait to get rid of these jackasses.... Should have been impeached a LONG time ago!
- rebotfc, on 05/01/2008, -8/+65Sadly Bush isn't on it.
- kooft, on 05/01/2008, -9/+54"I'm so ***** tired of people being politically correct on racial profiling."
Why stop at Middle Easterners in airports? Imagine how much crime we could stop if we automatically jailed Blacks wearing puffy coats or listening to rap music. Think of all the jobs that would open up if we just deported anyone that looked Hispanic without bother to verify citizenship. Anyone with an Irish surname should be pulled over and checked for DUI to make our roads safer. Asians could use their Kung-Fu on cops, thus they should be tasered before being questioned by police. Women should be prevented from obtaining a driver's license because they're bad drivers and put the rest of humanity in danger.
Remember, racial profiling can work for you too! - bromac, on 05/01/2008, -3/+44Three words: Oklahoma City Bombing.
Being white doesn't mean you're not ***** crazy and wanting to take out a city block or two. - CaptainAmerica1, on 05/01/2008, -11/+48Are you suggesting we racially profile based on visual cues of possible nationality, ethnicity and relgion based on past experience in the USA and taking into consideration those who have carried out terrorist acts worldwide?
I sure hope not, because that would make too much sense and would not be very politically correct, you know.
But, it probably would have saved your 78 year-old Welsh-Irish mother from having to go through that stuff. - kemp34, on 05/01/2008, -10/+44Defending Bush is indicative of extreme stupidity.
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -12/+43How embarrassing! What other former president of an American ally is on the list?
- PHiZ187, on 05/01/2008, -3/+33Nelson Mandela, and his African National Congress group was also considered a terrorist organization by the US while they were fighting South Africa's aprtheid government. This is troubling, even in the modern day, because there is no judicial review when the executive declares a group to be terrorists. So, this could affect YOU. If you want to donate to some charity, you might be prosecuted for financing terrorism if the government decides to declare them a terrorist organazation!
- kemp34, on 05/01/2008, -12/+42Cap'n: that was 1963 in APARTHEID South Africa! Are you ***** kidding me?
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -3/+32Everyone is a terrorist until proven innocent, including American citizens.
- kemp34, on 05/01/2008, -6/+28No, dork, I am not a truther or "troofer", I just have my head on straight enough to see that GWB is clearly past the point of defense. You defending him, and using the word "troofer" is indicative of an IQ in the sub-90 region.
- leexy, on 05/01/2008, -1/+22I see your point. That's how Ahmed Ben Mohammed ends up in Gitmo (or worse, a secret prison!). But technically, Nelson was not "mistakenly" put on that list. Apartheid South Africa didn't have many allies (the major ones were Israel and the US), so the ANC had to be put on the State Dept. terrorist list. Remember that emancipatory and revolutionary movements are often linked to communism in the eyes of Washington.
- db0255, on 05/01/2008, -4/+22How can you be so blind to how inept President Bush is? Yea, maybe "I hate Bush" is getting old, but Bush ***** ***** up is getting pretty god damn old too. And not everything bad in the world is his fault, just you know, little things like...the economy...the war...education...his deplorable fiscal debt policy. Regardless of which party you're from, why can't you see that he's not a good president!?!?
- whatthefu, on 05/01/2008, -6/+23"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice calls the situation "embarrassing," and some members of Congress vow to fix it." The whole War on Terrorism is embarrassing.
- Angelix, on 05/01/2008, -1/+17Isn't that obvious?
- DeskFlyer, on 05/01/2008, -1/+17I don't wonder why at all.
- fivefootfour, on 05/01/2008, -2/+17How about this. All or virtually all embezzlement and financial fraud are committed by old white men. I suggest we never allow old white men to handle money again.
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -4/+17I think that any president that orders an invasion of a sovereign nation should be on that list.
- 666dorado, on 05/01/2008, -4/+17yo, captain. you know that 71% of the u.s. disapproves of bush, and he'll go down as the worst president in modern history? is there something you know that the rest of us don't?
- Angelix, on 05/01/2008, -4/+17I think the Americans never bother to investigate or remove the ANC members from the terrorist watch list until Nelson Mandela was denied to visit America. What would others say about America if they block out a Nobel Peace Prize winner and didn't take immediate action to resolve it?
- CaptainAmerica1, on 05/01/2008, -9/+21Just because someone gets the Nobel Peace Prize doesn't mean they're not a terrorist. Yasser Arafat comes to mind.
- inactive, on 05/02/2008, -4/+15You know what the nazis called the resistance fighters against their occupation forces during WWII? Hint: they didn't call them the resistance.
- AniceAtheist, on 05/02/2008, -4/+15He said it very crudely but the second part of his statement is correct. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. To me he is a freedom fighter, but so would the people who arrest, try and execute Bush, whether they be sanctioned or not wouldn't matter.
- HenvY, on 05/01/2008, -6/+16I really don't understand the responses to his post. Yes, his cause was certainly justifiable. But he was still most definitely a terrorist. As Captain pointed out, his group were involved in bombings designed to kill innocents(although admittedly the large majority were aimed at infastructure). How can you defend that?
- CaptainAmerica1, on 05/01/2008, -7/+17I hope my sarcasm isn't lost on everyone... :D
- wishninja, on 05/01/2008, -6/+16What go me the most and almost had me laughing at the sad state of things is the democrat's response.
"Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., chairman of the House International Relations Committee, is pushing a bill that would remove current and former ANC leaders from the watch lists."
You have Condi-*****-neocon-Rice saying there is a problem with the system and that jackass wants to put a band-aid on the situation. How about giving everyone on that damned secret list an ability to clear their name. Legalize justice, legalize due process like it says in the first amendment to the constitution (you know that damned piece of hemp paper with all the funny thoughts about freedom on it). NO its maybe we should write a law to exclude this small minority.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES. - shawnanigans, on 05/02/2008, -0/+9Cat Stevens is on the list. The guy who writes, "Peace Train," is on the damn list.
- Myonosken, on 05/01/2008, -3/+12God damn commies and their differing beliefs. They have no place in the land of the free.
- pintomp3, on 05/01/2008, -2/+11the founding fathers would also have been considered terrorists.
- AustinV, on 05/01/2008, -5/+14Agreed, the nobel prize has become a political statement instead of a well-deserved award in many categories.
- bromac, on 05/01/2008, -3/+12Actually, Picaroon, it's giving other examples of what would be racial profiling and showing how silly it is.
It's a "Reductio ad absurdum" argument, which is perfectly valid, not a strawman fallacy. - pintomp3, on 05/01/2008, -3/+11that's because we supported the apartheid government. we were the last western democracy still supporting it.
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -1/+9Tournament.

I don't know if you just seem to be going on the general bias that everyone on Digg is a "troofer" and thinks Bush covered up 9/11, or if you're just retarded. The thing is, Bush, Clinton, and Bush Sr. before him all ignored warning signs of 9/11, and helped throw our country into this wonderful state we are in now...The blame does not entirely lie with Bush Jr. but a whole ***** lot of it does. If it didn't he wouldn't be the least approved of president in history. - twiztidsinz, on 05/01/2008, -6/+14The Patriots that helped make America a free country were also terrorists... the only difference is, they won.
- toppgun, on 05/01/2008, -3/+11IRA! IRA!
- mupu42, on 05/02/2008, -0/+8I personally do not care why someone bombs civilians. To me, that person is a terrorist. Gandhi never bombed buildings and was still able to overthrow an oppressive regime. Violence should never be the answer, and on the rare occasion that it is, civilians should never be the target. I see no reason to take a convicted terrorist of the Terrorist Watch List. Before you digg me down, do some reading:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela#Guerri ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spear_of_the_Nation#B ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Street_bombing - kemp34, on 05/01/2008, -5/+13@PolishLogic: did I say anything in defense of the Democrats? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Please refrain from putting words into my mouth unless you desire coming across as a total buffoon.
BTW, who's my ilk? And when did I make any of the statements you quoted? Dumb. - staeiou, on 05/01/2008, -0/+7Kissinger, too.
- Scottievm, on 05/01/2008, -3/+10Jefferson didn't lead any attacks. You should have cited Samuel Adams and his Sons of Liberty as the "terrorists" of 1770s.
- kemp34, on 05/01/2008, -3/+10Well, that's fine, but doing such leaves you open to being viewed as pretty thick in the skull. As long as you're ok with it...
BTW, I think it's naive to believe that Bush has not clearly done things that make impeachment a necessity for the American Republic. - azpat, on 05/01/2008, -8/+14We have no idea (at least publicly) that CaptainAmerica1 isn't involved in terrorist groups today. So, given we don't know, as far as I'm concerned CaptainAmerica1 still needs to be on that list.
- seraph582, on 05/01/2008, -21/+27Nelson Mandela's record is FLAWLESS too!
/sarcasm - BedPost, on 05/02/2008, -1/+7My last name is Smith. I'm *****.
- Mononuclear, on 05/01/2008, -6/+12You know like all those terrorists leaders like Thomas Jefferson that led violent rebellions against the British... This is a classic example of one man's freedom fighter being another man's terrorist and it's amazing to see how the definition changes depending on who is in power.
- gfxlonghorn, on 05/02/2008, -2/+8If anything the 78 year old women has nothing left to lose in terms of life longevity so she should have been stopped first.
- Diran, on 05/02/2008, -1/+6Finally someone with a trickle of knowledge, so rare on digg, no wonder he got dugg down.
