US terror list harasses innocents, leaves out terrorists: Civil rights group
22 July 2008
A flight from London with Cat Stevens on board - the singer who converted to Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam - was diverted and forced to land in Maine when US officials became aware that Islam, or Stevens, was on board. The singer, who has no terrorist record under either name, was denied entry to the US. His namesake, Cat (short for Catherine) Stevens, the wife of a US senator, has had problems flying because her name is Cat Stevens, the ACLU says.
