Despite the distortions of this story, the incompetence of the judge, and the lies of David Cole, FTO's are not "created" by George Bush in a "blacklist". In fact the process is clearly explained here:

Fact Sheet
Office of Counterterrorism
Washington, DC
October 11, 2005

Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs)


"If the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, decides to make the designation, Congress is notified of the Secretary’s intent to designate the organization and given seven days to review the designation, as the INA requires. Upon the expiration of the seven-day waiting period and in the absence of Congressional action to block the designation, notice of the designation is published in the Federal Register, at which point the designation takes effect. By law an organization designated as an FTO may seek judicial review of the designation in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit not later than 30 days after the designation is published in the Federal Register."
