Everyone is on the watch list nowadays..

Please tell me why the individual in question cant provide you with the requested documents considering he was released 4 years ago..

But you dont seem to be aware of the details, hence your request for information, so what exactly are you making us aware of, that your co-worker was a terrorists and we need to watch out for everyone? Are you trying to panic us?

When the dust finally settles I believe we're going to find out that my coworker Hammad was actually an informant or agent provocateur working with the FBI and/or the CIA.

Why am I doing this? Because according to my DOJ FOIA, the government has invoked the "Glomar Response" and will neither confirm nor deny if I'm on a watchlist.

I'm not sure what skin you have in this game. That website you link to (muckrock), is that your name on the site? Is it your website?

Are you on a watch list because you worked with him?

If I was on a watch list it would be a really boring one.

I honestly don't know why I'm on a watch list. Sadly, my Representative George Holding hasn't been any help when I requested his office investigate on my behalf. Perhaps there's a National Security Letter (NSL) out against me which would mean that I'm not even allowed to know why I'm on a watch list or that I have a NSL on file. BTW, the NSA review panel just suggested that people who have NSL's should be allowed know.

Why, exactly are you posting this here? Hoping an attorney will read it and take your case?

I call shenanigans.
