Is your name on the new F.B.I. list ???

The FBI is assembling a massive database on tens of thousands of Americans who have not been accused of any crime. The names on the fed watchlist have attracted the suspicions of local law enforcement or citizens, The Washington Post's Dana Priest and William Arkin report. The reporters' latest look at the country's ballooning national security system focuses on the role local agencies-- often staffed by people with little to no counter-terror training--have played in combating terrorism since 2001.
Here are the five most striking revelations in their piece:
1. The FBI's "Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative" currently contains 161,948 suspicious activity files on tens of thousands of Americans that include employment history, financial documents, phone numbers, photos and any other information authorities can gather. In many cases, the Americans in these files have not been accused of any crime but have attracted the suspicions of a local sheriff, FBI agent, cop, or even a fellow citizen. The files have led to five arrests but no convictions, the FBI says. Some of the files are unclassified so that local police agencies and even businesses can submit reports on anyone they deem suspicious.
2. The Department of Homeland Security does not know how much it spends in funding state fusion centers, which synthesize security information from all state agencies and feeds information to the FBI's "Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative." But since 2001, DHS has doled out $31 billion to states and localities for homeland-security initiatives.
3. Local officials at these fusion centers are tasked with understanding terrorism with little or no training. To fill the void, self-styled experts with fairly extreme views on the scope of the Muslim terrorist threat are asked to come in and train local authorities, the Post reports.
Expert Walid Shoebat told a group at the first annual South Dakota Fusion Center Conference in Sioux Falls this year that they should monitor local Muslim student groups and mosques and try to tap their phones. "You can find out a lot of information that way," he said.
National intelligence officials told the Post they preferred that people with "evidence-based" approaches to Islam were lecturing instead, but that no guidelines are in place to determine the qualifications of a given speaker.
4. The localities are often left without guidance from DHS, which can lead to confusion about the counter-terror activity they're supposed to be carrying out. Virginia's fusion center named historically black colleges as a "potential" terrorism hub, Maryland State Police infiltrated local groups that lobbied for bike lanes and human rights, and a contractor in Pennsylvania writing an intelligence bulletin flagged meetings of the Tea Party Patriots Coalition and environmental activists.
5. Many states and towns are taking the unprecedented amounts of money handed out to fight terrorists and are using it instead to fight crime. "We have our own terrorists, and they are taking lives every day," Memphis Police Director Larry GodwinÂ said.The FBI is assembling a massive database on tens of thousands of Americans who have... more
