Either you're being funny (because the names list not being released to the public is actually being litigated right now) or you haven't seen the numerous news articles about these folks. I think Al Gore mentions one in his speech.
Admittedly, most of the people seized by the gummint have been non-citizens, but I do know I've seen articles about citizens held in jail without a lawyer for months -- I of course only read about them after they were out. I'm sure some quick internet research would turn them up. If you want me doing it, you're in for a ride, because these articles always piss me off and lead to more posting and tirades by me.
But, the more salient point is that the law allows it to happen to you and me, whether it currently is or not. Even your local police now have the power to hold you for THREE FRIKKIN DAYS without a lawyer if they can bootstrap any terror allegations. Surely you've seen the spectre of this threat raised by comments on TV shows lately -- I know the "good guys" on Law & Order (all flavors), CSI, CSI Miami, Threat Matrix, 24, etc. all made reference to these newfound powers this past season.
