Terror database gets plenty of hits - - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper

The Terrorist Screening Center has detected more than 40,000 people trying to gain entry into the U.S. who either associated with terrorist groups or were known terrorists themselves, and the database is only going to get better, says the agency's chief

Mr. Boyle said recent criticism from the Inspector General's investigation is understandable, but the report failed to mention the numerous terrorists who have been prevented from entering the country since the inception of the database.

"In the space of 3½ years, the Terrorist Screening Center has made extraordinary strides in providing information on known and suspected terrorists to those who have to make the important determination on persons whom we should allow into the country," Mr. Boyle said.
