Since when did the American way of thinking move from the position that you are innocent until proven guilty?

These blacklists by common names are just one of the problems posed by these unAmerican blacklists.

I am just amazed that Muhammad Ali's name is not yet announced as being on a blacklist. Toss in the spelling variation therein and there must be a few million persons with such name with one of whom having committed some crime somewhere. If this keeps up, then there will be more persons with names on the list than there have ever been terrorists since the beginning of human history.
