Audit shows a number of watch list woes
An audit of the terrorist
watch list found:
In 15 percent of a sample of 216 investigations, the FBI failed to "nominate" subjects of terror investigations to the list in a "timely fashion."
In 8 percent of closed cases, the FBI failed to remove subjects from the list as required.
Some 35 percent of entries in a list of 68,669 suspected terrorist identities involved cases that weren't classified as related to terrorism.
