On "Feds' Watch List Eats Its Own"

Ryan Singel opens an excellent article “Feds’ Watch List Easts Its Own,” with a pertinent question. The article is worth reading for its enumeration of how the watch list catches senior military and State Department officials, who also can’t get off the list. It opens:

Well, at least it’s catching someone.

If it had, we’d have heard about it.
