17 juillet<\/a>):<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abSince February of this year the ACLU has maintained an online watch list counter to track the size of the government’s watch list. A September 2007 report by the inspector general of the Justice Department reported that the list contained 700,000 names and was growing by 20,000 per month. As of this writing, the counter has passed the 1,001,500 mark.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bbThousands of innocent people have been caught up in the government’s arbitrary dragnet and no-fly lists; many held for hours in interrogation rooms, threatened and denied due process. Those on the list have no right to access and challenge the data in which the list is based.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbMembers of Congress, nuns, war heroes and other suspicious characters,’ with names like Robert Johnson and Gary Smith, have become trapped in the Kafkaesque clutches of this list, with little hope of escape, said Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe ACLU said those on the list included South African leader Nelson Mandela; Evo Morales, president of Bolivia; and US Senator Edward Kennedy, Democrat from Massachusetts.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAppearing at the press conference was Akif Rahman, a computer consulting company founder from suburban Chicago, who was detained and questioned for more than two hours by US customs officials on four separate occasions when crossing the Canadian border. On one occasion, he was held for 5 \u00bd hours, shackled to a chair, and physically searched. He was also separated from his wife and children who were forced to wait in a small dirty public area without food or telephones. A US citizen born in Springfield Illinois, Rahman is being represented by the ACLU of Illinois in a lawsuit over this treatment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bbAttorney David C. Nelson is one of many men named David Nelson around the US who has been caught up on the list, including a former star of the television show Ozzie and Harriet.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe ACLU reported that the list even contained Saddam Hussein’s name, although he was imprisoned in Baghdad and in US custody at the time. It also contained the names of several 9\/11 hijackers long after they were killed.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tCe membre de phrase, surtout, de la directrice de la section l\u00e9gislative d’ACLU Caroline Frederickson, est particuli\u00e8rement r\u00e9v\u00e9latrice: ceux qui sont emprisonn\u00e9s dans les griffes kafka\u00efennes de cette liste, sans gu\u00e8re d’espoir de pouvoir s’en \u00e9chapper (\u00abhave become trapped in the Kafkaesque clutches of this list, with little hope of escape<\/em>\u00bb). C’est cela, impossible d’en sortir.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tC’est certes dans de telles circonstances qu’on approche une juste mesure de l’ampleur du probl\u00e8me que nous pose ce syst\u00e8me aveugle, \u00e9videmment sans but, compl\u00e8tement m\u00e9caniste et nihiliste, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 institu\u00e9 comme moyen quasi-exclusif de contr\u00f4le dans le champ de certaines activit\u00e9s. Ces circonstances montrent une incursion permanente dans la vie priv\u00e9e d’autrui, sans aucun but, sans aucune intention (notamment, aucune intention d’oppression polici\u00e8re particuli\u00e8re dans ce cas des erreurs de nom et d’identification), simplement par suite d’une erreur, d’une confusion, d’un exc\u00e8s de prudence, d’inattention, de sottise pure et simple.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tEn effet, il est \u00e0 notre sens infond\u00e9 de rechercher quelque intention que ce soit dans de telles erreurs, et des erreurs maintenues, sinon \u00e0 s’en remettre \u00e0 l’obsession de l’oppression polici\u00e8re caract\u00e9risant certains esprits critiques du syst\u00e8me. On se trouve devant un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne bureaucratique bien plus que policier, par cons\u00e9quent un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne m\u00e9canique aveugle et sans aucune capacit\u00e9 d’adaptation; un pur produit d’un syst\u00e8me g\u00e9n\u00e9ral caract\u00e9ris\u00e9 par le nihilisme et la chute dans l’entropie niveleuse. De ce point de vue-l\u00e0, l’avenir appartient \u00e0 la folie, pas \u00e0 l’oppression.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
