He can then dispute his inclusion by refuting with evidence presented against and for his inclusion on the list.

The problem with that is, we're back to the accused being forced to prove they are not guilty, i.e. proving a negative. It is (well, should be according to the Constitution) the responsibility of the accuser (the government) to prove the guilt of the accused.

Otherwise, we have Soviet style kangaroo courts. Or, if you will, central American banana republic "courts".

Am I soft on muzzie terrorists? Nope. I'm guessing that had the feds had any balls they could have filed formal charges on at least some of these 23. But they are afraid to publicly go after them (get the Rats all riled up and be called islamaphobic by the MSM) so they did it on the sly.

How many normal, everyday Americans are on this list compared to real terrorists? Thousand to one? Lot more than that I'm betting.

Perhaps whomever decides if an individual goes on the list must first present the name as well as the proof to a panel of some sort who can then weigh the evidence after which, if it has been agreed the individual should go on the list, they would be informed of the decision as well as being provided with the evidence in order that they can, if they choose, contest the findings.
