I put my own name through - trusting - well maybe; but I have no fear as the saying goes. I still believe in you are innocent until proven guilty. There were no hits in the state where I live for a person by my name, or even a name that sounded like my name.

UPI has the story: National sex offender Web site launched

WASHINGTON, July 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. Justice Department Wednesday activated its online National Sex Offender Public Registry, linking the registries of 22 states.
The site is located at nsopr.gov.
"Citizens will now be able to search the latest information for the identity and location of known sex offenders across state boundaries," said Regina B. Schofield, assistant attorney general for the Office of Justice Programs.
The department said the free site allows computer users to make a single query to search public state and territory sex offender registries for results based on a name, state, county, town or Zip Code.
The remaining state public sex offender registries are expected to be linked to the NSOPR within six months, the department said.
There are more than 500,000 registered sex offenders nationwide and statistics have shown the recidivism rate for these offenders is high, the department said.

You must give information about yourself that is already known to the officials of the states by your driver's license, voter ID, etc. You must agree to conditions set forth, the rest is easy.

Question: If we (citizens) can do this with convicted sex offenders, why can't we do this with convicted shoe bombers, etc? Why can't we (citizens) type in the name of a known terrorist that we suspect might be living next door? The day of depending on the WANTED poster in the local post office is over.

Toney Blair is calling for the Islamic citizens to step forward and turn in suspected terrorists. The Islamic terrorists live and build bombs in Islamic communities. Islamic cleriks have been living in denial since 9/11/ everywhere in the world. To condemn the murder of innocent civilians is not enough. It is past time for the Islamic communities to join the rest of the communities in every nation to prevent murder.

There is nothing holy about a religion that tolerates the murder of any citizen in the name of religion. There is nothing decent about protecting a sex offended who is known to be planning another attack against an innocent citizen. Every civilized society protects its own from criminal acts. It is high time to unite against these criminals and prevent them from further destruction.
