Terror List

Arbitrary, bloated, inefficient and unchecked: that's the way the American Civil Liberties Union describes the Transportation Security Administration's terrorist watch list. The list now tops 1,000,000 names, and continues to grow at an estimated 20,000 names per month. The names include college students, heads of state – even infants, and countless more unsuspecting citizens whose only link to terrorism is a name that just happened to be too similar to someone else's. Caroline Fredrickson is the director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington Legislative Office. Fredrickson says the list is simply illogical. Caroline Fredrickson is the director of the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office. The group is demanding the President issue an executive order requiring the lists be reevaluated.

But as FSRN's Matt Laslo reports, immigration reform advocates say that at a time of increased raids coupled with no change in policy, words aren't enough.

FSRN's Rachel Clarke has more.

Women In Lebanese Politics

Lebanon has created an image of being one of the most tolerant Arab countries when it comes to women: in comparison to other countries in the region, women in Lebanon play an active role in the private sector. Yet although Lebanese women are more represented in the workforce than in neighboring Syria and Jordan, they are far less represented in politics. As FSRN's Simba Russeau reports, women also face obstacles due to controversial nationality laws.
